Hello Experts!

We had a performance issue with a SQL that used to complete in a few
milliseconds, was taking over 14seconds. We had to run *analyze *on 3
tables to get the idle performance back.

When the performance was not optimal, we noticed sequential scans even with
indexes created.

The tables and their count:
coverage_details = 529628595
customer_details = 81721669
policy_details = 116909729

PgSQL version is:
PostgreSQL 15.7 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by Debian clang version
12.0.1, 64-bit

One more information is that we noticed this started happening (in the
destination) after an ETL job completed the load (regular load). *Just
wanted to know if any follow up actions we should do after such data loads,
eg., analyze or vacuum. *We do have autovacuum on, with default values.

Regards
Siraj
