That's rather impossible. Please show create table statement, and output
of `\d table_name` after creation.

Index will be used only when it makes sense.
If you'd do: select * from table; - that is select all rows - there is
no point in using index, as it will be slower than getting seq scan.
Plus - your table can be too small to effectively use index.
