EXPLAIN SELECT cdate FROM sometable WHERE cdate = current_date;

NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:

Seq Scan on sometable (cost=0.00..332.70 rows=71 width=186)

EXPLAIN SELECT cdate FROM sometable WHERE cdate = '02/14/2002';

NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:

Index Scan using sometable_cdate on sometable (cost=0.00..66.64 rows=71 width=186)

My postgres version is 7.1.3

Again, thanks for any help
