not a problem.
Perhaps you think that the count is somehow saved in the index so thatI understand that the count is not stored in the index. I am saying that it may be faster to generate the count off the keys in the index.
you don't have to scan through the whole index to get the number of
rows in a table? That isn't the case, but is what creating a materialized
view would effectively do for you.
I shouldn't have titled this message COUNT(*) as that isn't the only thing I'm trying to accomplish.
