According to this entry, your small_id column only contains the ten
values 1..10, roughly evenly distributed.  So why are you probing for
239??

The planner is certainly going to estimate a probe for an unspecified
value as retrieving 10% of the table, and under that assumption it's
quite right to use a seqscan.

If this estimate is not right, perhaps you could give us a more accurate
view of the column statistics?
