The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1487 Logged by: Tom Yeh Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.0.1 Operating system: Windows XP Description: Index problem Details:
I created an index for a table, say Entity, on a field, say id. Then, the follwoing two SQL has different result: select * from "Entity" e where e.id = '1000' and select * from "Entity" e where e.id like '1000' (The later uses sequential scan. BTW, while 7.4.x uses index why 8.0 behave worse?) Once I re-index it, the problem is gone. However, the problem comes back randomly if I change some id. The above can be replicated by using pgAdmin III only. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
