Just upgraded from 6.5.3, on solaris
and i'm noticing that indexes are not being used by default
IE: if i have a table
Table "radusage"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+-------------+----------
datetime | timestamp | not null
account | varchar(64) |
usage | integer |
sent | integer |
recv | integer |
ip | bigint |
host | bigint |
port | smallint |
Indices: idxradaccount,
idxraddate,
idxradoid
and index idxradaccount is
# \d idxradaccount
Index "idxradaccount"
Attribute | Type
-----------+-------------
account | varchar(64)
btree
how come it doesn't use it if i
# explain select * from radusage where account = 'someuser';
NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:
Seq Scan on radusage (cost=0.00..13839.67 rows=5757 width=50)
EXPLAIN
????????????????
