Re: When are index scans used over seq scans?

Yes they are. They both have 20 columns. If I cut down the duration
table to just 1 column of timestamps, the planner uses the index.

Interesting, so I could store just the timestamps in another table (view
doesn't help) to speed up this query.

I am using the debian package. How can I tell if profiling is enabled?

Thanks a lot,
