I have a table t1 with a primary key column pkey, and a table t2, with a primary key column pkey. Is there a way to
makethe following delete use the indexes? 

delete from t1 where pkey in (select pkey from t2);

NOTICE:  QUERY PLAN:

Seq Scan on t1 (cost=0.00..6616238.99 rows=660239 width=6)
  SubPlan
    ->  Seq Scan on t2 (cost=0.00..20.00 rows=1000 width=8)

Sally
