Hey All,
I am trying to find a way to retreive character data from a table very
quickly. My data is a large string (about 250 MB worth of text) of DNA
sequence. I am currently storing the data as a Postgres "text" datatype.
The character data is in its own table and occupies one row and one column.
I would like to retreive a substring from this very long string. I have
tried the built-in Postgres string functions to get a substring out from the
table, but it is too slow. Is there a very fast way to retreive substrings
of character data from the database?
Does changing the datatype help (instead of using the "text" datatype)?
Thank you for any help.
Sincerely,
Peter
