I apologize if I am missing something elementary here. I cannot understand why this index is not helpful.
CREATE TABLE [T1]( [C1] TEXT, [C2] TEXT, [C3] DATE); CREATE INDEX [IndxT1C3] ON [T1]( [C3] COLLATE [NOCASE]); insert into t1 values ('aa','bb','2016-01-01'), ('ab','bb','2016-01-02'), ('ac','bc','2016-01-03'); analyze; ---------- after doing this: explain query plan select C1 from T1 where C3='2016-01-02' ----> 0, 0, 0,0 SCAN TABLE T1 and explain query plan select C1 from T1 indexed by IndxT1C3 where C3='2016-01-02' ----> no query solution Why can this index not be used? Thank you, Denis Burke
