PostgreSQL manual, chapter 11, the section about multi-column indexes. I realized, after further testing, that the planner tries to re-arrange the order. But I think there are situations where the planner may choose one or another column because there's no "optimum" solution, and that choice comes from the order of the args. But I'm not sure about any os this, I don't know a lot about DBs, and I hate them more everyday.

Don't bother with multicolumn indexes for the start - you can add them when you really need them. The other thing with PostgreSQL is: turn on autovacuum so you have up to date statistics. Then you should be safe for while.

You turn on autovaccum by using these settings in postgresql.conf:

stats_start_collector = on
stats_row_level = on
autovacuum = on

And always keep in mind:

1. Make it work.
2. Make it right.
3. Make it fast.

The other way around brings your project to an early death as you will normally never finish it.
