If it still does that with a larger table. Do you have an example
of that? Showing that it goes straight to the data page when the
table only has one, without first wasting time going through the
index page, doesn't prove that it won't use the index when it might
actually help -- much less point to the cause of the issue in the
larger table, which might lead to a solution.
