Indices MIA

Hi List,

I've a strange problem with missing indices.

\d import.dvinfo_import

gives me:

               Table "import.dvinfo_import"
       Column       |          Type          | Modifiers
-------------------+------------------------+-----------
  s_part_number     | character varying(20)  |
  s_pda             | character varying(4)   |
  dv_id             | character varying(30)  |
  s_revision        | integer                |
  s_strl1_typ       | character varying(255) |
  s_strl1_nr        | integer                |
  s_strl2_typ       | character varying(255) |
  s_strl2_nr        | integer                |
[...]
  format            | character varying(25)  |
  file_id_mimetype  | character varying(255) |

without any indices. But:

\di import.dvinfo_import*

lists:

                         List of relations
  Schema |      Name       | Type  |    Owner     |     Table
--------+-----------------+-------+--------------+---------------
  import | dvinfo_import_1 | index | usr_nefa_dev | dvinfo_import
  import | dvinfo_import_2 | index | usr_nefa_dev | dvinfo_import
  import | dvinfo_import_3 | index | usr_nefa_dev | dvinfo_import

Unfortunately the planner doesn't use them.

I didn't get any error while creating the indices.
Looking at the logs I suspect a problem with autovacuum?
