In response to phpPGAdmin Indexes, what does this do?  (Sean Gonsman <sean@gonsman.com>)
List pgsql-general

I have never used VACUUM or ANALYSE on any tables, but most are still very fast, why would this table have a problem. I guess I need to look into what these operations do.  Thanks.  The table was so small, only 40 rows or so, so I don't understand why it would be 84 times faster.

didn't VACUUM or ANALYSE your table for a long time?
