Hi guys,

I got the following index:

CREATE INDEX "ix_mo_pk" ON "mo" USING "btree" ((("id")::"text"))

The "ID" is my primary key:
"mo_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, "btree" ("id") 

 The ix_mo_pk index is not being used... But as it has the "ID" on it, I wanted to ask before dropping it.

Can you guys explain me if the ix_mo_pk is safe to delete and why?

The mo_pkey index is being used.

I'm using Postgres 9.2

Thanks
Patrick
