Re: Just trying to read first row in table based on index, pg scans and sorts instead?

My mistake. Here's the other query that required parens in order to use the
index. But you'll see that it was parens in the WHERE clause, not in the
ORDER BY that helped in this example. So I tried adding parens to this ORDER
BY and, just like my original SELECT, the performance dropped off. So...
apparently it's important for me to use parens in the WHERE clase and avoid
parens in the ORDER BY.

SELECT * FROM test
WHERE (name, rowid) > ('j', 0) and (name, rowid) != ('', 0)
ORDER BY name, rowid
LIMIT 10

I populated this table with 1,000,000 rows.

CREATE TABLE test (
rowid serial PRIMARY KEY,
name varchar,
bulk varchar
);

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX first_index ON test(name, rowid);
