<para>
Prior to <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 7.3, the plan was
emitted in the form of a <literal>NOTICE</literal> message. Now it
appears as a query result (formatted like a table with a single
text column).
Genetic query optimization (<acronym>GEQO</acronym>) randomly
tests execution plans. Therefore, when the number of tables exceeds
<varname>geqo_threshold</> causing genetic query optimization to be
used, the execution plan is likely to change each time the statement
is executed.
