That seems strange to me also, particularly if the index column ordering is indeed actor_id,case_id and not the other way round --- without some constraint on actor_id it shouldn't be *possible* to use such an index. Could you send me a schema dump (pg_dump -s) for experimentation? Also, which PG version are you using? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
