Re: calculated expressions and index use

Yes, you are right. It was an issue reated to the type compatibility. My 
braindead script created tables with 'datetime' types, what is 
'timestamp without time zone' after I switched to 'timestamp', all works 
fine.

Thanks a loc, the fact, you ensured me, that the constant expression 
should be recognized, pushed me much further.

Thanks again

Have a nice day
