Optimizing query

Hello!

I have some trouble getting good results from my query.

here is structure

stat_views
id | integer
id_zone | integer
created | timestamp

I have btree index on created and also id and there is 1633832 records in
that table

First of all I have to manualy set seq_scan to OFF because I always get
seq_scan. When i set it to off my explain show:

explain SELECT count(*) as views FROM stat_views WHERE id = 12;
QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aggregate (cost=122734.86..122734.86 rows=1 width=0)
-> Index Scan using stat_views_id_idx on stat_views (cost=0.00..122632.60 rows=40904 width=0)
Index Cond: (id = 12)

But what I need is to count views for some day, so I use

explain SELECT count(*) as views FROM stat_views WHERE date_part('day', created) = 18;

QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aggregate (cost=100101618.08..100101618.08 rows=1 width=0)
-> Seq Scan on stat_views (cost=100000000.00..100101565.62 rows=20984 width=0)
Filter: (date_part('day'::text, created) = 18::double precision)

How can I make this to use index and speed the query. Now it takes about 12
seconds.
