Hi,
When I used explain I found that the query planner use a seq scan to execute a query on a table containing about 2 millions rows.However I'm creating an index.Why does the planner uses seq scan in place of index scan?Does the execution of index scan is slower with table containing a huge amount of data?

It is strongly suggested that you provide the PostgreSQL version and O/S when posing questions to this mail list.
In addition, your question cannot be answered unless you also provide
A. The explain plan in question.
B. The structure of all indexes involved
C, Have you run ANALYZE on all tables involved?
