Your alias is not enclosed in double quotes, so it is downcased to "a" (as can be seen from the alias printed in the plan). But pg_hint_plan hints don't follow the downcasing convention, so the hint on "A" does not match the alias "a", and so is ignored.
>> Thanks Jeff for the response ! It worked with "A" alias
