There is hardly any data in the table (~133 rows per page by my calculation) so
the planner is choosing
to do a direct sequential scan instead of using an indirect lookup through an
index because it is faster. Considering the query returned in under 0.1ms I
think you may be engaging in premature optimization by adding indexes to this
table. If you expect that table to eventually contain many thousands of
entries then an index might be prudent.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
