First should be used the most RESTRICTIVE condition. ie if condition "a" limit output to few rows from many , it
shouldbe used first in WHERE . Preferrable condition "a" should be created index aware, so relatively inexpensive
indexscan can eliminate most of unwanted lines from output. Following this rule should you should be able to create a
fastestand low cost query.
So it can not be explicitely told if 1 and 2 will use the sme cpu time in real life
