No. Nor do I think that I should. SERIAL is shortcut for INTEGER, no? I
think there is some other (TBD) problem causing my big seq scan.

orfs=# ALTER TABLE measurement DROP CONSTRAINT measurement_id_int_sensor_meas_type_fkey;
ALTER TABLE
orfs=# ALTER TABLE ONLY measurement ADD CONSTRAINT measurement_id_int_sensor_meas_type_fkey
orfs-#      FOREIGN KEY (id_int_sensor_meas_type) REFERENCES int_sensor_meas_type(id_int_sensor_meas_type);
ALTER TABLE
orfs=#

The add constraint statement comes directly from a pg_dump.

For clarity, the table/indexes were created as such:

CREATE TABLE int_sensor_meas_type(
    id_int_sensor_meas_type SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    id_sensor integer NOT NULL REFERENCES sensor,
    id_meas_type integer NOT NULL REFERENCES meas_type UNIQUE);

CREATE TABLE measurement (
    id_measurement SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    id_int_sensor_meas_type integer NOT NULL REFERENCES int_sensor_meas_type,
    datetime timestamp WITH TIME ZONE NOT NULL,
    value numeric(15,5) NOT NULL,
    created timestamp with time zone NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
    created_by TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES public.person(id_person));

CREATE INDEX measurement__id_int_sensor_meas_type_idx ON measurement(id_int_sensor_meas_type);
