Re: Just trying to read first row in table based on index, pg scans and sorts instead?

Thanks, that fixed it! That's good news. The bad news is that I had made it a
rule to add the parens because a similar query would "ignore" the an index
if I left the parens off. I'll try to did up the counter example. It was for
a different table, index.


reports=> EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM rx ORDER BY storenbr,rxnbr,rfnbr
LIMIT 1;
                                                                     QUERY
