I was wondering if the index-only-scan will be available in 9.2? This is not having to visit the real data to answer a query, if all the information is available in the index. I think this will be a mayor step in overtaking the big O in the g-spot.
There seams to already be some patch for this problem, but I don't know if you are considering this for the next release? Why is the enthusiasm so low on this feature? I would presume this is a mayor performance boost, not having to run through millons of stupid pages if all the info is already in the index. -- NEU: FreePhone - 0ct/min Handyspartarif mit Geld-zurück-Garantie!
