From time to time the topic of indexes arises. Here is a practical example, using PostgreSQL 9.3
I was running this query: select * from file where fileindex = 23495 It took a long time. I added this index: create index file_fileindex on file(fileindex) The query takes a few seconds. Background: 268.1 million rows. Database size: Before index: 100GB After index: 106GB I am willing to sacrifice that space. I’m also willing to bed that table updates won’t be affected by much at all. We’ll find out on 4 Jan when the full backups are run. Skeptics are welcome to contact me for confirmation/denial after that. :) — Dan Langille http://langille.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
