The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4410 Logged by: Greg Sabino Mullane Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.3.3 Operating system: Linux Description: Indexes not seen right away Details:
I cannot reproduce, as this was on a production system and not seen again, but I created a simple index on a TEXT field, which was not chosen by the planner, even when seqscan was turned off. I analyzed the table, checked all the settings, etc. pg_index looked as it should. Eventually (~ 10 minutes later) the index as chosen - I don't know what might have triggered it to start appearing. Creating a second table based on the first worked as it should during the 'noindex' time period: CREATE TABLE foo AS SELECT * FROM bar; CREATE INDEX foo_idx1 ON foo(textcol); EXPLAIN SELECT 1 FROM foo WHERE textcol1 = 'baz'; -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
