I have found a trick to fool the system: I use an ORDER BY response_code 0 ASC LIMIT 1 As unpaid orders receive a response_code > 0, then necessarily the first record has response_code of 0. However if more and more orders come into the equation, this means PgSQL will have to process more records, how is it optimized? I guess PgSQL will have to find all the records, than order them by response_code ASC, and then pick the first one. This is probably not a good practice? Should I go for 2 distinct queries? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
