Index Unique Scan

In contrast to an index range scan, an index unique scan must have either 0 or 1 rowid associated with an index key.

The database performs a unique scan when a predicate references all of the columns in the key of a UNIQUE index using an equality operator. An index unique scan stops processing as soon as it finds the first record because no second record is possible.

As an illustration, suppose that a user runs the following query:

CopySELECT *
FROM   employees
WHERE  employee_id = 5;

Assume that the employee_id column is the primary key and is indexed with entries as follows:

.

In this case, the database can use an index unique scan to locate the rowid for the employee whose ID is 5.
