On postgres 8.3.11 on linux centos 5 we have a table  not too big  with 
primary key index on

Indexes:
     "aida_references_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (aida_reference_id)

the query not use index:

aidadb=#  explain analyze select aida_reference_id from 
aida.aida_references where aida_reference_id = '3145';
                                                    QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Seq Scan on aida_references  (cost=0.00..51489.15 rows=1 width=4) 
(actual time=0.173..1457.643 rows=1 loops=1)
    Filter: (aida_reference_id = 3145)
  Total runtime: 1457.696 ms

Hi Silvio,
how many rows do you have in the table?
Usually PostgreSQL doesn't want to use index when the table is small.

There's nothing here to suggest that this query shouldn't use an index,
so the problem is in something you didn't show us.  Maybe you have
enable_indexscan turned off, or maybe that index isn't really on that
table, or something else.

this is not the case,  to be sure I have recreated the index and still 
not work. moreover the copy of the table  with the same ttpe of index is 
using it.

I have vacuum full the table and still not work,  how can I rebuild this 
table ? this is a production database..

thanks

Well, the rest of us can't see what you're doing, but I think this is
highly likely to be user error.  Have you got more than one table named
aida_references?
