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';
