... but PostgreSQL doesn't have query hints. No. Really. ;-)

I have similar issue but with single query, postgres decides to do full table scan instead of index scan leading to killing database. And it does it only sometimes. The returned number of rows is set to 10, and it fails even when there is none to return. Whenever it picks index - extremely fast, picks to use table scan - rows scan over millions of records. I wonder if OFFSET 0 can help when this is not a subquery?
