table personen holds not only customers but also suppliers. table
r_kunden_anbieter describes the relationship between customers and
suppliers. there are five status, 0 to 4 in attribute beziehung. both
queries return the same results. they select all customers which have a
certain relationship (beziehung = 3) to a given supplier.
personen has 484 rows, r_kunden_anbieter 327.
the database is freshly vacuum analyzed.
The first query takes 0.038 sec, the second 0.879 secs. Why is the
negotiation of all values except the one we are looking for faster than
to look for equality of the one we are looking for?
