Hello,
I have an interesing problem relating to sql and performance issues and am
looking at ways I can increase the performace from postgres.
Currently I have a view created from two tables. All the selects are being
done on the view - which normally does not take a lot of time, but because
my web app uses filtering on such as symbol ~ '^.*$', side, date etc, the
select from the view is taking a lot of time (7000 ms) as per explain
analyze. Both the primary and secondary tables have about 400,000 rows.
I noticed that it is doing a sequential scan on the primary table which is
joined to the secondary table in the view query.
I just read when I use filters that postgres will do a seq scan on the table.
My question is how can I fix this?
Would it be better to create a temporary table for just daily data and
have the view for more extended queries? Any other design ideas?
Thanks,
Radhika

It is all a matter of perspective. You choose your view by choosing where
to stand.
