You are right! Thanks a lot! Watch this!

contabil=> explain select * from note where perioada=29::int2;
NOTICE:  QUERY PLAN:
Index Scan using note_perioada on note  (cost=108.96 rows=1600 width=87)

EXPLAIN
contabil=> explain select * from note where perioada=29;
NOTICE:  QUERY PLAN:
Seq Scan on note  (cost=1099.99 rows=1600 width=87)

My queries are faster now!

I think that this thing should be fixed. You need more than common SQL
in order to optimize your queries.
That conversions should be automatically assumed by the query optimizer
in order to deliver real performances.
I don't know how difficult that would be.

Thanks a lot,
Best regards,
