http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/sql-createindex.htmlI'm not getting good performance. Are you able to craft an example using my schema and partial index?maybe some like
CREATE INDEX ON message_property (person_id, message_id) WHERE pr.is_read
When I am thinking about your schema, it is designed well, but it is not index friendly, so for some fast access you should to hold a cache (table) of unread messages
Ah, that's what I was hoping to not having to do. In my system, messages arrive all the time and having to update a cache for all new messages for all users seems messy... Seems I could just as well create a message_property for all users when a new message arrives, so I can INNER JOIN it and get good performance. But that table will quickly grow *very* large...
