I have this index:
"directory_lower_username_seg_key" unique, btree (lower(username)
text_pattern_ops, seg)
... but my query refuses to use that index.
[local]:owl=>explain select * from directory where lower(username) =
'jks@selectacast.net';

[local]:owl=>CREATE INDEX directory_lower_username_seg_key1 ON directory
(lower(username),seg);

So what gives?
