Hi ,

I have a view which is a union of select of certain feilds from
indentical tables. The problem is when we query a column on
which index exists exists foreach of the tables does not use the
indexes.


But when we query individual tables it uses indexes.

tradein_clients=# create view sent_enquiry_eyp_iid_ip_cat1 as 

select rfi_id,sender_uid,receiver_uid,subject,generated from eyp_rfi  UNION  
select rfi_id,sender_uid,receiver_uid,subject,generated from iid_rfi UNION 
select rfi_id,sender_uid,receiver_uid,subject,generated from ip_rfi UNION 
select rfi_id,sender_uid,receiver_uid,subject,generated from catalog_rfi ;
