Weird index problem - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hey,
I'm having a very weird thing happening here.
I've had this one table for quite some time, but what I haven't noticed
until now is that only 3 out of 9 indexes seems to be working on it.

OS: Red Hat Linux 6.0 / Linux 2.2.6
Arch: i386
Postgres version: CVS of 6.5 a few days before actual release

Table    = av_parts

Indices:  av_parts_altpartnum_index
          av_parts_itemid_key
          av_parts_nsn_index
          av_parts_partnumber_index
          av_parts_rawalternatenumber_ind
          av_parts_rawaltnum_index
          av_parts_rawnsn_index
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
          av_parts_rawpartnumber_index
          av_parts_vendorid_index

This is the one I will use as an example.  This is an index on
rawnsnnumber (varchar 15).

Output of a simple select on that field:
parts=> explain select * from av_parts where rawnsnnumber = '123456';
NOTICE:  QUERY PLAN:

Seq Scan on av_parts  (cost=194841.86 rows=3206928 width=124)

EXPLAIN

This doesn't really make sense.  There is an index on that field, and I
have just done a vacuum on the table.
The index on partnumber, itemid and vendorid is being used properly, all
others are not.
Can someone explain this?

Thanks,
Ole Gjerde
