Hello. I've googled a bit but I think I can't match the keywords, so I thought I'll ask here:
Let's say I've got a view with 100 columns and 1mln rows; some of them are calculated "on the fly". For some reason I want only one column from this view: select col1 from huge_view; Now, does PostgreSQL skip all the calculations from other columns and executes this query faster then select * from huge_view? -- | And Do What You Will be the challenge | http://apcoln.linuxpl.org | So be it in love that harms none | http://biznes.linux.pl | For this is the only commandment. | http://www.juanperon.info `---* JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *---' http://www.naszedzieci.org ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
