hi!

i created a table with 2 FIXED values as primary key and a column
VARCHAR(512).
EXPLAIN tells me that "select * " where that varchar is 'foo' results in
a table scan (!) although i created an index on that column. "select
count(*)" with the same condition is a "EQUAL CONDITION FOR INDEXED
COLUMN", resulting in a much lower cost value.

is the explain statement not telling the truth? shouldnt it use the same
strategy when selecting * ?
this is kernel 7.3.0.20 via JDBC...

TIA,
        Raimund
