Hi, Indexes are used to find a record faster in a table. It only seems to work if I am working with one table. eg) > create index customer_id_idx on customer(id); > select * from customer where id=1; -- This uses the index I create However, when I start to join 2 or more tables together it doesn't seem to use it.. WHY??? eg) > create index customer_id_idx on customer(id); > select * from customer, purchaseorder where customer.id=purchaseorder.id; -- This results in a seq scan .. WHY?? Is there a way to make it so that it uses my index Thanks again. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
