Hi!

  What do you think about "learn" optimizer to use indices
  in queries like:

select max(i) from tab;

  Currently, even if "i" have *unique* index, value for max()
  is searched sequentially!

  And one more:

select * from tab where (s ~ '^aa');

  In this case, if "s" indexed, why not use index, since we know
  *first* characters, and can limit search range?
