You could create an index on datetime and rewrite your queries:
CREATE INDEX user_action_datetime_idx ON user_action (datetime);
SELECT DISTINCT(nummer)
FROM user_action
WHERE datetime >= '11/11/2004' AND datetime < '11/12/2004'
AND id_action IN (5,6,9);
Another possibility would be to create a functional index on datetime:
CREATE INDEX user_action_date_idx ON user_action (date(datetime));
SELECT DISTINCT(nummer)
FROM user_action
WHERE date(datetime) = '11/11/2004' AND id_action IN (5,6,9);
