Re: Slow index creation

Extra tables is not something that will work out in my workflow...
I've managed to cut the time in half already, but perhaps there's more to be won.
In one of the calculations done on the st_area, I used a log(base,value), but since the only 2-param log function present in postgres takes numerics as parameters, i inserted a typecast to numeric.
Apparently that conversion takes quite some time, rewriting it to log(value)/log(base) (which are present with float params, so no need to convert to numeric) took only half the original time

Why not create a table with cols a, b, c and d. Where you insert a row for each combination and key and index abc then return d?

Thanks for all the suggestions,

When the server is not in use for mission-critical work, I'll definitely going to do some testing based on your ideas.
Will let you know what comes out of that

Cheers,
Paul

Sure, this overhead is definitely possible, but kinda besides the point
- there will be some slowdowns in other places, and it will be good to
track them.
That's why I suggested to do it on small sample of data.
