I have added this to our TODO list as:
process const=const parts of OR clause first
> I need to run a report using some parameters that are optional, I'm
> doing this by labeling "0" as the optional value. IE here is a
> simplified example:
>
> CREATE TABLE po (po_id int4 PRIMARY KEY, data text);
> (insert a bunch of rows)
>
> ftc=> explain select * from po where po_id=8888;
> NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:
>
> Index Scan using ipo_poid_units on po (cost=2.05 size=1 width=94)
>
> EXPLAIN
>
> ftc=> explain select * from po where (po_id=8888 or 0=8888);
> NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:
>
> Seq Scan on po (cost=449.96 size=1751 width=94)
>
> EXPLAIN

> I was hoping PostgreSQL could optimize out the boolean condition
