Yeah, the problem is when I test large join, the plan considered by geqo is large than path. (3000+ vs 500+). However, the time used in optimizer of geqo is 1/4 of path. By the way, I use the same query. Another thing is for the join of 2 tables, geqo consider 60-90 plans. In general, I think for large join, geqo consider less plans than path, am I right?
