Thank you, not _that_ works:-)
But now this doesn't work:
create index session_u_idx on session (drus(created), username);
Can't I have multicolumn-indexes with functions? Any idea how to rewrite that
so it works?
Here is my session table:
CREATE TABLE session (
session_id varchar(256) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
created timestamp DEFAULT 'now' NOT NULL,
last_accessed timestamp NOT NULL,
destroyed timestamp NOT NULL,
username varchar -- Allow sessions from not logged in users
);
Here is my query I wish to optimize using indexes:
SELECT to_char(created, 'IW') as week, count(session_id) from session WHERE
username IS NULL and to_char(created, 'YYYY') = '2002' group by week ORDER BY
week;
Any hints on optimizing this query, index-usage etc?

There will always be someone who agrees with you
but is, inexplicably, a moron.
