Very strange problem on index

Hi guys,

i really strange problem, quite near to paranormal, is occurring during a server migration.

We have a table with some millions of record, perfectly working on other Postgresql 9.6.1 machines:

Table "public.webrecord"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------+----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
id | integer | not null default nextval('webrecord_id_seq'::regclass)
categoria | character varying |
dominio | character varying |
country | character varying(5) |
Indexes:
"keywebrecord" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
"dominio_idx" btree (dominio)

By entering a simple query:

Select * from webrecord where dominio='sito.com' it wait some seconds and cpu raise up.

I tried to:
- delete the tabel
- recreate the schema again
- re-populating it
- reindexing
- vacuum

But nothing happened.
The query planne says it scans lots of rows:

explain analyze select * from webrecord where dominio='crl.microsoft.com';
QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gather (cost=1000.00..144045.21 rows=62073 width=92) (actual time=1096.202..1096.202 rows=0 loops=1)
Workers Planned: 4
Workers Launched: 4
-> Parallel Seq Scan on webrecord (cost=0.00..136837.91 rows=15518 width=92) (actual time=1063.277..1063.277 rows=0 loops=5)
Filter: ((dominio)::text = 'crl.microsoft.com'::text)
Rows Removed by Filter: 2482938
Planning time: 0.119 ms
Execution time: 1107.846 ms

On other machine the results are immediate!

I have finished my tries...

Thank you!

(solved) R: Very strange problem on index

I create a table copy, with indexes, and it worked perfecly.
Then i dropped the original table and recreated it back by a copy of the newest.

Same problems, lack during searches and indexes not used.

I restart Postgresql 9.6.1 engine and now index is working perfectly!

Maybe a cache or something other problems?

I am really curious to understand why!

Thank you!

I didn't see your original message so may have missed this, but did you
run ANALYZE on the table after creating it? - Depending on how you
created the table, the statistics needed by the planner may or may not
have been up to date.

But what's your answer to his question? You still didn't tell.
