Hm, so how many rows in mutualfd_weekday_qbid for that date?
And how many satisfy the cusip condition? (I suppose 253,
but it looks like that must be a very small fraction of all
the rows for that date.)
The selectivity estimators are not great about dealing with
zero-width intervals like this one (in fact, if you look at the
code you'll find it doesn't even bother to distinguish '>' from '>='
... something we should probably try to improve sometime).
You'd probably have better luck if you could fold the WHERE condition
down to "pkey = '2005-12-15'". Dunno how feasible that is for your
application.
