Re: Help Me Understand Why I'm Getting a Bad Query Plan

There is one thing I don`t understand:

-> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..180564.28 rows=1806
width=37) (actual time=0.192..60.214 rows=3174 loops=1)
-> Index Scan using visitors_userid_index2 on
visitors v (cost=0.00..2580.97 rows=1300 width=33) (actual
time=0.052..2.342 rows=897 loops=1)
Index Cond: (userid =
'fbe2537f21d94f519605612c0bf7c2c5'::bpchar)
-> Index Scan using
itemexperiencelog__index__visitorid on itemexperiencelog l
(cost=0.00..134.04 rows=230 width=70) (actual time=0.013..0.040 rows=4
loops=897)
Index Cond: (l.visitorid = v.id)

If it expects 1300 visitors with the userid, and for each of them to
have 230 entries in itemexperiencelog, how can it come up with 1806
returned rows (and be about right!)?
