Index not used on join with inherited tables - Mailing list pgsql-performance

Hi all,

I'm having another problem with a query that takes to long, because
the appropriate index is not used.

I found some solutions to this problem, but I think Postgres should do
an index scan in all cases.

To show the problem I've attached a small script with a testcase.

Thanks in advance

Sebastian
