Hello list.
I have a question about complexity of queries and performance. I only
look for qualified opinions and comments.
In my database I have a pool of tables and views with rules for
inserting, updating and deleting.
In order to avoid complexity, some views looks in other views and
join them for getting data.
I see queries against that views result slower than queries against
plane tables or simple views by an order of magnitude (when not two).
My question is: if I would make complex views looking in plain tables
instead of other views, could I gain speed with the cost of more
difficult maintainability and readability?
Sorry for lazy data and arguments. If any of you think that detailed
tables and views may help, i can send them without problem.
Thanks for any opinion.
David
