Another situation in which fast full scans appear is a report from a reference table, like a list of names of all employees (artificial example, but I have no better at the moment). Those are relatively rare, but they are regular. Speaking of index scans, does anybody here sees skip scans? Few months ago I've had a lengthy discussion with Wolfgang about INDEX_SS, but I have to confess that I've never seen them in real life.
