Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
I've upgraded from 7.0.3 to 7.2.1 and noticed that queries like
SELECT ... WHERE field LIKE 'something%'
take too much time to execute now.
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
bamby=# create table t (f varchar(100));
CREATE
bamby=# create index i_t__f on t(f);
CREATE
bamby=# SET enable_seqscan TO 'off';
SET VARIABLE
bamby=# EXPLAIN SELECT * from t where f = 'aa';
NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:
Index Scan using i_t__f on t (cost=0.00..17.07 rows=5 width=68)
EXPLAIN
bamby=# EXPLAIN SELECT * from t where f LIKE 'aa%';
NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:
Seq Scan on t (cost=100000000.00..100000022.50 rows=5 width=68)
EXPLAIN
