Hello,
in PostgreSQL 9.5 I have a table with 67000 records:
# \d words_nouns
Table "public.words_nouns"
Column | Type | Modifiers
---------+--------------------------+-----------
word | text | not null
hashed | text | not null
added | timestamp with time zone |
removed | timestamp with time zone |
Indexes:
"words_nouns_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (word)
Check constraints:
"words_nouns_word_check" CHECK (word ~ '^[А-Я]{2,}$'::text AND word !~ '[ЖШ]Ы'::text AND word !~ '[ЧЩ]Я'::text AND word !~ 'Ц[ЮЯ]'::text)
Triggers:
words_nouns_trigger BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON words_nouns FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE words_trigger()
And a similar one words_verbs with 36000 records.
Is it a good idea to define the following custom function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION words_get_added(
in_visited integer,
OUT out_json jsonb
) RETURNS jsonb AS
$func$
DECLARE
_added text[];
BEGIN
-- create array with words added to dictionary since in_visited timestamp
IF in_visited > 0 THEN
_added := (
SELECT ARRAY_AGG(hashed)
FROM words_nouns
WHERE EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM added) > in_visited
UNION
SELECT ARRAY_AGG(hashed)
FROM words_verbs
WHERE EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM added) > in_visited
);
IF CARDINALITY(_added) > 0 THEN
out_json := jsonb_build_object('added', _added);
END IF;
END IF;
END
$func$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
or should I better transform in_visited to a timestamp with timezone and compare to that?
I have tried the following, but am not sure how to interpret the result:
# explain select * from words_get_added(0);
QUERY PLAN
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Function Scan on words_get_added (cost=0.25..0.26 rows=1 width=32)
(1 row)
Thank you
Alex
