*First, you do not need index "updates_autoinc", since autoinc is the
Primary Key, you are just duplicating the index.*
*As far as "Index only scan" , since the table only has 2003 rows, the
optimizer has determined it is faster just to*
*load all the rows into memory and then filter. If you really want to force
an index scan, then you would have to do*
*SET enable_seqscan = off; Before doing the query, however you are just
shooting yourself in the foot by doing that*
*as it will make the query slower.*

I reserve the right to fantasize. Whether or not you
wish to share my fantasy is entirely up to you.
