Thank you very much Arthur. Your suggestion led me to a query that is at least returning correct result set. I could not figure out how to get your rank() function to work with my query, but building on your answer (and others from IRC etc), I ended up with the following solution: First I created the following views: |CREATE VIEW scored_pages AS ( SELECT crawl_results.crawl_id, crawl_results.score, crawl_results.page_id, pages.url FROM crawl_results JOIN pages ON crawl_results.page_id = pages.id ); CREATE VIEW scored_links AS ( SELECT scored_pages.score, links.source, links.target, links.link_text FROM links JOIN scored_pages ON scored_pages.url = links.source );| Then, using these views, I did the following query to extract the links from the lowest scored pages in the results: ||SELECTscore,host,target FROM(SELECTDISTINCTON(token)token AShost,score,target FROMscored_links,LATERAL ts_parse('default',target)WHEREtokid =6ORDERBYtoken,score )asx WHERENOTEXISTS(SELECTpp.id FROMpages pp WHEREtarget=pp.url)ORDERBYscore; || Does this seem like a reasonable approach? When running EXPLAIN on this query, I get the following: QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sort (cost=1252927.46..1252927.47 rows=1 width=100) Sort Key: crawl_results.score -> Hash Anti Join (cost=1248297.18..1252927.45 rows=1 width=100) Hash Cond: ((links.target)::text = (pp.url)::text) -> Unique (cost=1247961.08..1252591.28 rows=5 width=100) -> Sort (cost=1247961.08..1250276.18 rows=926040 width=100) Sort Key: ts_parse.token, crawl_results.score -> Gather (cost=1449.79..1054897.20 rows=926040 width=100) Workers Planned: 2 -> Hash Join (cost=449.79..961293.20 rows=385850 width=100) Hash Cond: ((links.source)::text = (pages.url)::text) -> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..955091.41 rows=378702 width=144) -> Parallel Seq Scan on links (cost=0.00..4554.40 rows=75740 width=112) -> Function Scan on ts_parse (cost=0.00..12.50 rows=5 width=32) Filter: (tokid = 6) -> Hash (cost=404.67..404.67 rows=3609 width=63) -> Hash Join (cost=336.10..404.67 rows=3609 width=63) Hash Cond: (crawl_results.page_id = pages.id) -> Seq Scan on crawl_results (cost=0.00..59.09 rows=3609 width=12) -> Hash (cost=291.60..291.60 rows=3560 width=59) -> Seq Scan on pages (cost=0.00..291.60 rows=3560 width=59) -> Hash (cost=291.60..291.60 rows=3560 width=55) -> Seq Scan on pages pp (cost=0.00..291.60 rows=3560 width=55) (23 rows) I am wondering if there is a more efficient way to do things? Some people on IRC mentioned that it might be better to declare a scalar function to return the host from ts_parse instead of the LATERAL query ... but I couldn't figure out how to do that, or if it was even preferable to the above from a performance standpoint ... any ideas on how I could improve the above.
