Here it comes:
Aggregate (cost=227.59..227.61 rows=1 width=8)
-> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..227.34 rows=49 width=8)
-> Seq Scan on T2 (cost=0.00..1.07 rows=6 width=4)
Filter: (fld1 = 'VEND'::text)
-> Index Scan using i_T1_partial on T1 (cost=0.00..37.61 rows=8
width=8)
Index Cond: ((T1.prod_id = 42) AND (T1.fk1 = T2.fk1))
