Look at this insane plan:
lucas=# explain analyse select huvudklass,sum(summa) from kor_tjanster left outer join prislist on prislista=listid and tjanst=tjanstid where kor_id in (select id from kor where lista=10484) group by 1;

I have an index on kor_tjanster(kor_id), an index on prislist(prislist_id), did ANALYZE and all that stuff... but those indexes are not used.
Why does it come up with this strange plan? It does a seqscan of 1.2 million rows and then a join!? Using the index would be much faster...
I expected something like this:
1. Index Scan using kor_lista on kor (use lista_id 10484 to get a list of kor_id's - 29 rows (expected 557 rows))
2. Index Scan using kor_id on kor_tjanster (use the kor_id's to get a list of kor_tjanster - 31 rows)
3. Index Scan using prislist_listid on prislist (use the 31 kor_tjanster rows to find the corresponding 'huvudklass' for each row)
29+31+31=91 index lookups... which is MUCH faster than seq-scanning millions of rows...
I need to speed up this query. How can i make it use the correct index? Any hints?
I have pg 8.1.0, default settings.
