Subject | Index not used by "where xxx not null" query? |

Hi,
I have two similar queries, one of which ends with:
where XXX is null
and the other with:
where XXX is not null
The former makes use of the (ascending) index on the XXX column, but the
latter does not.
Why?
I've tried adding a descending index but I get the same result.
My index selectivity is currently 0.125 (freshly calculated). Could that
be the "problem"?
Thanks,
Kjell
