Hello,
I have just came across interesting Postgres behaviour with
OR-conditions. Are there any chances that the optimizer will handle this
situation in the future?
select *
from commons.financial_documents fd
where fd.creation_time <= '2011-11-07 10:39:07.285022+08'
order by fd.creation_time desc
limit 200
"Limit (cost=4.30..44.50 rows=200 width=67) (actual time=0.032..1.376
rows=200 loops=1)"
" -> Index Scan Backward using financial_document_creation_time_index
on financial_documents fd (cost=4.30..292076.25 rows=1453075 width=67)
(actual time=0.027..0.683 rows=200 loops=1)"
" Index Cond: (creation_time <= '2011-11-07
11:39:07.285022+09'::timestamp with time zone)"
"Total runtime: 1.740 ms"
select *
from commons.financial_documents fd
where fd.creation_time = '2011-11-07 10:39:07.285022+08'
or fd.creation_time < '2011-11-07 10:39:07.285022+08'
