This is the query: select max(KA) from annuncio
field KA is indexed and is int4,
explaining gives: explain select max(KA) from annuncio; QUERY PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate (cost=21173.70..21173.70 rows=1 width=4) -> Seq Scan on annuncio (cost=0.00..20326.76 rows=338776 width=4) (2 rows)
wasn't supposed to do an index scan? it takes about 1sec to get the result.
