Thread: help with getting index scan
i can't seem to get index scan to work on table phone_cat_address. here are my schemas: CREATE TABLE "phone_address" ( "id" integer DEFAULT nextval('"phone_address_id_seq"'::text) NOT NULL, "aid" bigint, "name" character varying(96), "address" character varying(60), ...

The planner seems to think that the cid column alone isn't very selective, and thus indexscanning on it wouldn't be useful. How many distinct cid values do you have?

I think it is because of the SS intermediate result. PG does not have an index on ss.aid to do the join, so it it has to sort the result. Let's try it the other way around; take the ss out of the picture.

Thomas, Obviously, my "If" statement was not satisfied... Any chance that "SELECT DISTINCT aid..." might work? JLL P.S. I can't explain why you get the error twice. "Thomas T.

Since phone_cat_address isn't limited by a WHERE cluse, etc., most of its rows will be selected. Therefore the planner seems to judge that a sequential scan is better/faster than an index scan.
