Re: How to get explain plan to prefer Hash Join

So I implemented two changes.

- Moved random_page_cost from 1.1 to 2.0
- Manually ran analyze on all the tables

*Here is the new explain analyze:*
QUERY PLAN
HashAggregate (cost=74122.97..74125.53 rows=256 width=24) (actual
time=45.205..45.211 rows=24 loops=1)

'#_{09F3A628-3B9D-481A-AC90-72AF8EAB64CA}'::text)
Rows Removed by Filter: 5298
-> Bitmap Index Scan on api_settlement_points_idx
(cost=0.00..22622.90 rows=72134 width=0) (actual time=42.998..42.998
rows=5299 loops=1)
Index Cond: ((rt_model = $0) AND (start_date <=
'2015-01-01'::date) AND (end_date > '2015-01-01'::date))
-> Index Scan using dp_hist_gen_actual_idx2 on dp_hist_gen_actual
dp (cost=0.56..556.88 rows=25 width=24) (actual time=0.033..1.333 rows=24
loops=1)
Index Cond: ((market_day >= '2015-01-01'::date) AND
(market_day <= '2015-01-01'::date) AND (expiry_date IS NULL) AND
((settlement_point)::text = (sp.settlement_point)::text))
Total runtime: 45.278 ms

I'm a little perplexed why the autovacuum wasn't keeping up. Any
recommendations for those settings to push it to do a bit more analyzing of
the tables??
