All the time seems to be going into the seqscan on stk_source and its
child tables. It looks like it would help if "ss.source_detail[1]=1 and
ss.source_detail[2]=abi.item_id" were indexable (particularly the
latter). Which probably means you need to rethink your data
representation. Putting things that you need to index on into an array
is not a very good design. I suppose you can do it if you're absolutely
set on it (functional indexes on (source_detail[1]) and (source_detail[2]))
but it appears to suck from a notational point of view too. Six months
from now, when you look at this code, are you going to remember what's
the difference between source_detail[1] and source_detail[2]? Not
without consulting your notes, I bet.
