[New to this list, forgive my ignorance.] [snip] I'm getting better performance with: SELECT m.id AS message_id, 1 AS person_id, FALSE AS is_read, m.subject FROM message m WHERE 1 = 1 AND NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM message_property pr WHERE pr.message_id = m.id AND pr.person_id = 1 AND pr.is_read); You then lose the distinction between message_property with is_read = FALSE, and nonexistent message_property for the message row. If that is essential, I'm getting a roughly 2x speedup on my non-tuned PostgreSQL with: SELECT m.id AS message_id, prop.person_id, coalesce(prop.is_read, FALSE) AS is_read, m.subject FROM message m LEFT OUTER JOIN message_property prop ON prop.message_id = m.id AND prop.person_id = 1 WHERE not coalesce(prop.is_read, false); Hi Jochem, Thansk for looking at it. I'm still seing ~500ms being spent and I was hoping for a way to do this using index so one could achieve 1-10ms, but maybe that's impossible given the schema? Is there a way to design an equivalent schema to achieve <10ms execution-time? -- Andreas Jospeh Krogh CTO / Partner - Visena AS Mobile: +47 909 56 963 andr...@visena.com <mailto:andr...@visena.com> www.visena.com <https://www.visena.com> <https://www.visena.com>
