Thanks Tom. But on a newly minted table, sure, the performance would
be great. My table now has about 3 million rows (both in MySQL and
PG).
Here's the table definition:
Table "public.cachedstats"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------------+-----------------------+------------------------------
id | bigint | not null
prof_name | character varying(20) | not null
notes | text | not null
inform_prof_on_change | character(1) | not null default 'N'::bpchar
Indexes:
"cachedstats_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
"idx_cachedstats_unique_prof_name" UNIQUE, btree (alias)
How can I test the bottleneck?
