Hi all. I have a problem with two tables of same structure:
'orders_stat_pre' and 'orders_stat_pre_new'.
store=# \d orders_stat_pre
 Column         | Type                       | Modifiers
----------------+----------------------------+-----------
 id             | integer                    | not null
 user_name      | text                       |
 category_name  | character varying(10)      |
 ctime          | timestamp without timezone |
Indexes:
    "orders_stat_pre_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
    "orders_stat_pre_user_idx" btree (user_name, category_name, ctime DESC)


store=# \d orders_stat_pre_new
 Column         | Type                       | Modifiers
----------------+----------------------------+-----------
 id             | integer                    |
 user_name      | text                       |
 category_name  | character varying(10)      |
 ctime          | timestamp without timezone |
Indexes:
    "orders_stat_pre_new_user_idx" btree (user_name, category_name, ctime
DESC)

I try to select last 10 orders from old table (i.e. 'orders_stat_pre'):

store=# explain select * from orders_stat_pre where user_name = 'Alex' and
category_name = 'Books' order by ctime desc limit 10;
                          QUERY PLAN
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Limit  (cost=0.00..40.40 rows=10
width=335)
   ->  Index Scan using orders_stat_pre_user_idx on orders_stat_pre
(cost=0.00..15505.87 rows=3838 width=335)
         Index Cond: ((user_name = 'Alex'::text) AND ((category_name)::text
= 'Books'::text))
(3
rows)


Then I do the same query on new table (i.e. 'orders_stat_pre_new'):

store=# explain select * from orders_stat_pre_new where user_name = 'Alex'
and category_name = 'Books' order by ctime desc limit 10;
                          QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Limit  (cost=1719969.83..1719969.86 rows=10
width=563)
   ->  Sort  (cost=1719969.83..1719981.08 rows=4499
width=563)
         Sort Key: ctime
         ->  Seq Scan on orders_stat_pre_new  (cost=0.00..1719872.61
rows=4499 width=563)
               Filter: ((user_name = 'Alex'::text) AND
((category_name)::text = 'Books'::text))
(5
rows)


I'm confused on how can I optimize the last query? Or where I can find
corresponding info. Thank you!
