The method to access the table is decided by the query planner based on costs. The costs are driven off the row estimates which are driven from table statistics. If the table statistics, for example say that 99% of rows have MS_CD = '009', then scanning an index on MS_CD is unlikely to be a good idea as that would likely require random access to the heap. It's likely better to perform a table scan and then just filter out the 1% of rows that don't match. Try executing the query after having done: SET enable_seqscan TO off; What plan does it use now? Is that plan faster or slower than the seq scan plan? David
