It depends on many circumstances, but, at first, simple question: Did you run vacuum analyze?
I am satisfied with functional indexes - it works in my pg 7.4.x.

On more investigation I found that index scan is not used if the query
have a function in it like lower() and an index exist for lower()

Hi all,
   I am facing a strange problem when I run EXPLAIN against a table
having more than 100000 records. The query have lot of OR conditions
and when parts of the query is removed it is using index. To analyse
it I created a table with a single column, inserted 100000
records(random number) in it created index and run a query which
returns 1 record which have no or condition and it was using index.  I
added an OR conditon and is using sequential scan. I set the
enable_seqscan to off. I ran the tests again and is using index scan.
  So which one I have to use. Is this any bug in Explain.
