Hi-

Would someone please enlighten me as
to why I'm not seeing a faster execution
time on the simple scenario below?

there are 412,485 rows in the table and the
query matches on 132,528 rows, taking
almost a minute to execute.  vaccuum
analyze was just run.

Thanks!
Clark

          test
-------------------------
 id            | integer
 partnumber    | character varying(32)
 productlistid | integer
 typeid        | integer


Indexes:
"test_id" btree (id)
"test_plid" btree (productlistid)
"test_typeid" btree (typeid)
"test_plidtypeid" btree (productlistid, typeid)


explain analyze select * from test where productlistid=3 and typeid=9 order by partnumber limit 15;
