Using index for IS NULL query

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Index is not used for

is null

condition:

create index  makse_dokumnr_idx on makse(dokumnr);
explain select
    sum( summa)
  from MAKSE
  where  dokumnr is null

"Aggregate  (cost=131927.95..131927.96 rows=1 width=10)"
"  ->  Seq Scan on makse  (cost=0.00..131927.94 rows=1 width=10)"
"        Filter: (dokumnr IS NULL)"



Table makse contains 1200000 rows and about 800 rows with dokumnr is null so using index is much faster that seq scan.
How to fix ?
