Re: Two indexes on same column

 Hi,

 what index is used (and according to what rules) when there are two (or more) different indexes defined on one column? Assume:

CREATE TABLE example (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
...);
CREATE INDEX example_id_idx ON example USING hash (id);

By default there are btree index created and the hash index is then created. So there are two indexes on column "id". Are there described somewhere what index is used and when? Does it depend on query analyzer and planner?

Thanks
