Marcin Zukowski ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 2 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description Not using indexes in WHERE clauses Long Description PGSQL doesn't use indexes in WHERE clauses. Tested on version 7.0.3: PostgreSQL 7.0.3 on i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc egcs-2.91.66 explain query from example returns: Seq Scan on tab4 (cost=0.00..3576.00 rows=99999 width=8) It DID work on: PostgreSQL 6.5.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc egcs-2.91.66 where explain query returned: Index Scan using tab4_pkey on tab4 (cost=2565.67 rows=66667 width=8) Vacuuming didn't help. So, it's quite similar to the bug: Bug Report #10 from 2000-08-23 17:53:13-04 but solution (changing to int4 and vacuuming) didn't help. Sample Code CREATE TABLE tab4 ( id INT4 PRIMARY KEY, val INT4 ); -- Load 200000 records with values ((0,0),(1,1),... :) ) COPY tab4 FROM '/home/postgres/pg/tab4.txt'; CREATE INDEX tab4_id2 ON tab4 (val); -- THIS IS THE POINT explain SELECT * FROM tab4 WHERE id > 100000 ; No file was uploaded with this report
