Hi,
I am new to PostgreSQL and have a question about the new jsonb type in
9.4. Suppose I have a table called "user" that has two columns: (1)
"user_id" of type text, also the primary key, (2) "setting" of type
jsonb. With the following query pattern:
SELECT *
FROM user
WHERE user_id IN [...]
ORDER BY setting->>'foo',
setting->>'bar',
...
where ORDER BY clause can contain an arbitrary list of root-level fields
in "setting". In this case, how should I create indexes for "user" to
get good query performance?
The performance for that query is going to come from quickly identifying
records from the WHERE clause, which is going to use the primary key.
For the query you're showing, indexes on the setting field aren't going
to help.
