Just a guess: is the column "doc_num" really of type text? Maybe using "text"
in the function lets the planner choose a sequential scan?

Actually "doc_num" is char(9)
I changed text to char(9) and got same slow results

You need to make the second argument type "name", too, if you have a lot
of users.

I said my knowledge was pitiful
Changing both parameters to char(9) and name fixed the problem
It appears to be using the index
If time allows could you explain this a bit

Thanks
