Re: Simple query not using index

This also happens in a stock mysql 5.1.31 installed on ubuntu 9.04 server 64-bit, so you can rule out my use of xtradb/innodb plugin.

Some more investigation also revealed that when I remove the multi-column index index_pictures_on_user_id_and_is_private, then the query always uses index_pictures_on_user_id and everything is fine. However, one would think that dropping index_pictures_on_user_id would be the right choice to remove a redundant index, but when I do so, the query NEVER uses the index_pictures_on_user_id_and_is_private, and always does a table scan. Can anyone help?
