I have applied the procedure for fixing pg_statistic as you had said, but the result is the same!
Only tran.time in the query is a timestamp , no int8 or float8.
The OS is FEDORA 0.96 x86_64 and the flag --enable-integer-datetimes is false,it could be a problem??

I don't know what to make, help me please!

Another question, in 7.4 GROUP BY clause not guarantee the ordering of result.
Can I desable the new group by algorithm to maintain the coherence whit the programs that I have in production with pg_7.3

Thank you !!!
