我有以下表和索引定义:

CREATE TABLE ticket
(
  wid bigint NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('tickets_id_seq'::regclass),
  eid bigint,
  created timestamp with time zone NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
  status integer NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
  argsxml text,
  moduleid character varying(255),
  source_id bigint,
  file_type_id bigint,
  file_name character varying(255),
  status_reason character varying(255),
  ...
)

我在created时间戳上创建了一个索引,如下所示:

CREATE INDEX ticket_1_idx
  ON ticket
  USING btree
  (created );

这是我的疑问

select * from ticket 
where created between '2012-12-19 00:00:00' and  '2012-12-20 00:00:00'

这个工作正常,直到记录数量开始增长(约500万),现在它将永远回归.

解释分析揭示了这一点:
