Re: Plannner favoring nested loop

My default_statistics_target in the postgresql.conf file is set at 250. The tables are vacuumed everyday. Now, does that mean, for each column or only for the column on which index exist, increase the value of "statistics" value, so while analyzing it uses more rows in the sample.

Thanks

If it's doing that when it shouldn't, it's probably because it's
underestimated the number of rows in the outer relation. Look to your
stats settings.
