Nope - thats not it....

john=# create index parent_value on parent(value);
CREATE
john=# explain select * from parent where value='foo';
NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:

Result (cost=0.00..30.64 rows=20 width=24)
-> Append (cost=0.00..30.64 rows=20 width=24)
-> Index Scan using parent_value on parent (cost=0.00..8.14 rows=10 width=24)
-> Seq Scan on child parent (cost=0.00..22.50 rows=10 width=24)

EXPLAIN

...
Now I'm really confused.
Can someone explain what is really going on !

Thanks
