Re: [SQL] testing/predicting optimization using indexes

I'm quite happy with the speedup in 3, but puzzled over the slowdown in  
2.
        Could you provide :
        - SELECT count(*) FROM structure;
        => NRows
        - SELECT avg(length(smiles)) FROM structure;
        Then VACUUM FULL ANALYZE structure
        Redo your timings and this time post EXPLAIN ANALYZE
        Also your query returns 1313 rows, so wan you post :
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT oe_matches(smiles,'c1ccccc1CC(=O)NC') FROM  
structure;
=> time T1
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT smiles FROM structure;
=> time T2

(T1-T2)/(NRows) will give you an estimate of the time spent in each  
oe_matches call.

	Also note that for postgres (a,b) > (c,d) means ((a>c) and (b>d)), which  
can be misleading, but I think that's what you wanted.
