Interesting. Either there is a bug in pgAdmin, or you're connecting to a
different database that is missing the primary key. What is the EXPLAIN
ANALYZE output if you execute the query you sent on a psql prompt?

No, that's right. But that wasn't in the SQL you sent. In fact, there's
a lot of stuff missing in that output.

Try running the EXPLAIN ANALYZE using the same psql connection you used
to retrieve the actual table structure just now. I suspect you've
accidentally connected to the wrong database. If it's still doing the
sequence scan, we'll have to dig deeper.
