I'm about to launch an in house 'Aplpha' stage project. One of the marketing
driven outputs on the page is filled by a:
SELECT
COUNT(*)
WHERE
date_field IS NOT NULL AND
date_field > :todays_date;
Last I heard, this kind of query is kind of slow on Postgres in particular,
(Love postgres otherwise). Is this still true?
Is there any architectural way to speed it up? I'd actually like to run it
every 2-60 seconds to update a counter on a page for the marketing guy, (which
for once, is me :-)
