Hey all,
New to the lists so please let me know if this isn't the right place for this question.
I am trying to understand how to structure a table to allow for optimal performance on retrieval. The data will not change frequently so you can basically think of it as static and only concerned about optimizing reads from basic SELECT...WHERE queries.
The data:
- ~20 million records
- Each record has 1 id and ~100 boolean properties
- Each boolean property has ~85% of the records as true
The retrieval will always be something like "SELECT id FROM <table> WHERE <conditions>.
<conditions> will be some arbitrary set of the ~100 boolean columns and you want the ids that match all of the conditions (true for each boolean column). Example:
WHERE prop1 AND prop18 AND prop24
The obvious thing seems to make a table with ~100 columns, with 1 column for each boolean property. Though, what type of indexing strategy would one use on that table? Doesn't make sense to do BTREE. Is there a better way to structure it?
Any and all advice/tips/questions appreciated!
Thanks,
Rob
