Thank you for pointing it out.

It actually returns the min(logsn), as the index is on (create_time,
logsn). To be more explicit, I have changed to query to:
explain analyze select LogSN from Log where create_time < '2005/10/19'
order by create_time, logsn limit 1;

esdt=> \d log;
  create_time | character varying(23)   | default
'1970/01/01~00:00:00.000'::character varying
  logsn       | integer                 | not null
  ...
Indexes:
     "pk_log" PRIMARY KEY, btree (logsn)
     "idx_logtime" btree (create_time, logsn)

Best regards,
KC.
