That's possible, but other logical operators don't exhibit the same 
bahavior and will not prevent the use of indexes.  That NOT is not 
being handled at the same _logical_ level than AND and OR is a bit 
disappointing.

You're right, that just got "out of the keyboard" by itself ;-)

OK then I follow you, but that only needs loading / searching some 
O(log N) pages from the b-tree, which hold actual column entries (full 
values).
