Hi All !
Maybe that a basic question ,sorry.
I have to 2 tables :
     Column     |            Type             | Modifiers 
----------------+-----------------------------+-----------
 yaadid              | numeric(19,0)               | 
 populationtype      | character varying(50)       | 
 population          | numeric(20,0)               | 
 insert_trans_id     | numeric(16,0)               | 
 invalidate_trans_id | numeric(16,0)               | 
nextval('public.population2yaad_journal_journalid_seq'::text)
Indexes: population2yaad_insert_trans_id_idx btree (insert_trans_id),
         population2yaad_invalidate_trans_id_idx btree (invalidate_trans_id)

and
     Column     |            Type             | Modifiers 
----------------+-----------------------------+-----------
 action         | character varying(50)       | 
 transaction_id | numeric(16,0)               | 
 worker_login   | character varying(10)       | 
 time           | timestamp without time zone | 
 param          | character varying(100)      | 
 studentid      | numeric(9,0)                | 
Indexes: journal_action_idx btree ("action"),
         journal_trans_id_idx btree (transaction_id)


I am trying to join it like this:

select pj.populationtype,getPopulationName(pj.populationtype,pj.population) as 
populationname,pj.population,pj.yaadid,
                pj.insert_trans_id,pj.invalidate_trans_id,
                j.time,w.login as worker_login,j.action,j.transaction_id as 
j_transaction_id
             from journal j 
             INNER JOIN population2yaad_journal pj on 
(j.transaction_id=pj.insert_trans_id 
                    OR j.transaction_id=pj.invalidate_trans_id)
             where j.action = 'add_yaad' or j.action = 'delete_yaad' or  j.action = 
'change_yaad' order by j.time

However this does not use the indexes because of the OR in the INNER JOIN.
How should i create indexes to make this work right?

Thanks
