Re: Index oddity

It seems to believe that the number of rows returned for the >49.999
case will be 4 times the number for the >50 case. If that was true, then
the sequential scan would be correct.

ALTER TABLE <table> ALTER COLUMN diagonalsize SET STATISTICS 1000;
ANALZYE <table>;

Send back EXPLAIN ANALYZE output for the >49.999 case.
