Re: Limit clause not using index

Nevermind guys ....

There's an error in a function that is creating these indexes.

The function never completed succesfully so the index is not there


Very sorry about this !!

Do you have an index matching that sort key?  I'd certainly expect the

above to use it if it were there.  For the full table case it's not so

clear --- an indexscan isn't always better.
