I've just completed my application and my customer is starting to populate the database. I've put a table in where queries get logged so that I can start pinpointing my optimizations to the most frequently used queries. I've read the manual on the explain analyze statement and I have one (which will probably turn into many) question.

Obivously, I have a lot of sequential scans going on, at about what cost does it start to make sense to make an index? Or, should I just put in a bunch of indexes and let the optimizer decide whether or not to use them?

OK, so it was 2 questions.

Anyone? Bueller?
