Hi

My query is using a sequential scan and not an index scan even though that I
have indexes defined on the foreign keys.
This cases my query to take a long long time (10750.687 ms) when it should
have been completed in less than 1 second.
Any ideas on what may be the cause of this? I have done a re-index.

Below, I'm including the sql query, the sql schema with indexes and the
results of the explain, as well as the postgresql version.

-- SQLQUERY
select datetimestamptz, description from unithistory inner join event on
event_id=event.id;

You're returning all the rows.

-- EXPLAIN RESULTS
Hash Join  (cost= 1.12..82296.20 rows=2396163 width=26) (actual time=
24.885..8838.418 rows=2396163 loops=1)

I think it's unlikely you'll get 2.4 million rows back in under a second. Are you sure this is the query you want to test?
