Hi all.
I'm doing full-text-search and want do display the results in the order the
articles were received (timestamp). I have millions of articles where the
newest are the most interesting, and a search may match many articles so doing
the sort using some INDEX would be great.
Take the following example-schema:
create extension if not exists btree_gin;
drop table if EXISTS delivery; create table delivery( id BIGSERIAL primary key
, fts_allTSVECTOR not null, folder_id BIGINT NOT NULL, received_timestamp
TIMESTAMP not null, message varchar not null ); create index fts_idx ON delivery
using gin(fts_all, folder_id); CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
update_delivery_tsvector_tf()RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$ BEGIN NEW.fts_all =
to_tsvector('simple', NEW.message); return NEW; END; $$ LANGUAGE PLPGSQL;
CREATE TRIGGERupdate_delivery_tsvector_t BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON delivery
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDUREupdate_delivery_tsvector_tf(); insert into
delivery(folder_id, received_timestamp,message) values (1, '2015-01-01', 'Yes
hit four') , (1, '2014-01-01', 'Hi man') , (2, '2013-01-01', 'Hi man') , (2,
'2013-01-01', 'fish') ; analyze delivery; set ENABLE_SEQSCAN to off; explain
analyze SELECTdel.id , del.received_timestamp FROM delivery del WHERE 1 = 1 AND
del.fts_all @@ to_tsquery('simple', 'hi:*') AND del.folder_id = 1 ORDER BY
del.received_timestampDESC LIMIT 101 OFFSET 0;
I use btree_gin extention to make folder_id part of index.
I get the following plan (using 9.6 from master):

Here is the explain from a real-world query:

1. Why isnt' folder_id part of the index-cond?
2. Is there a way to make it use the (same) index to sort by
received_timestamp?
3. Using a GIN-index, is there a way to use the index at all for sorting?
4. It doesn't seem like ts_rank uses the index for sorting either.
Thanks.
