I have a table with column of character varying(100). There are about 150.000.000 rows in a table. Index was created as CREATE INDEX idx_stringv ON bn_stringvalue USING btree (lower(value::text)); I'm trying to execute queries like 'select * from stringvalue where value=lower(?)'. Making 1000 selects takes about 4-5 min. I did vacuum and analyze on this table and checked that query plan uses index. What can I do to make it faster?
