Hello,
It appears that predicate indexes won't uses indexes on int8 columns
unless they are casted:
test=# select count(*) from test_key ;
count
--------
120617
(1 row)
test=# alter table test_key ALTER column id set statistics 25;
ALTER TABLE
test=# analyze test_key ;
test=# create index foo on test_key (id) where id >= 50000;
CREATE INDEX
test=# analyze;
ANALYZE
test=# explain analyze select * from test_key where id > 50000;
QUERY PLAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

time=23.186..289.406 rows=70617 loops=1)
