If you're doing a condition on a bunch of columns, you might want a
multi-column index, since postgres is only going to use one of the
indexes below I believe and it may not be considered selective enough
on just one of those conditions. And you're doing cross datatype
comparisons, which is likely to screw it up as well (why is tipodoc an
integer in one and a numeric in the other for example?) I'd also say you
might want to consider upgrading to 7.3.x since the explain format looks
like that from 7.2 or earlier. Also explain analyze output would tell us
what is actually taking the time and could be useful as well.
