Re: PostgreSQL OR performance

My main message is that I can see this in many queries and many times. But
OK, I can present exact example.

I have autovacuum, but for this example I did vacuum analyze of the whole
DB.
The real-life query (autogenerated) looks like the next:
select t0.id as pk1,t1.id as pk2 ,t0.run_id as f1_run_id,t1.run_id as
f2_run_id
from tmpv_unproc_null_production_company_dup_cons_company as t0, (select *
from production.company where run_id in (select id from production.run where
name='test')) as t1
where
t0.name = t1.name
or
(t0.name,t1.name) in (select s1.name, s2.name from atom_match inner join
atoms_string s1 on atom_match.atom1_id = s1.id inner join atoms_string s2
on atom_match.atom2_id = s2.id where s1.atom_type_id = -1 and
match_function_id = 2)

with tmpv_unproc_null_production_company_dup_cons_company:

create temporary view tmpv_unproc_null_production_company_dup_cons_company
as select * from production.company where 1=1 and status='unprocessed' and
run_id in (select id from production.run where name='test')

without analyze is in OR-plan.txt
Also plans for only condition1, only condition2 and union is attached
