Re: Need advice to avoid ORDER BY

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Try an index like:

create index yada on mytable (id) where valids=0;

then

select max(jobid) from mytable where valids=0;

Hello,

I have one query in my postgresql 9.2.3 that took 137 ms to me executed and looking a way
what I can do to optimize it. I have one table generated numbers from 1 to 1 000 000 and
I need to get first free id, meanwhile id's when is taken can be free (deleted data and id
is free for next job). Table is simple:


id serial,
jobid text,
valids int default 0

(Yes, I have index).


my query is: SELECT jobid FROM mytable WHERE valids = 0 ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 1

I need the first id only.

My question is: Is there a way how I can avoid using ORDER BY to receive the first
free id from mytable ?



Cheers,
Condor
