Hello all, I have a PostgreSQL database that is storing The Bible. It has 31,103 records in it and I have a PHP page executing this query: SELECT books.book_name, bible.chapter, bible.verse, bible.versetext FROM asv_bible bible, book_bible books WHERE bible.book = books.id ORDER BY random() LIMIT 1
The database schema is: /* -------------------------------------------------------- Sequences -------------------------------------------------------- */ CREATE SEQUENCE "book_bible_seq" start 1 increment 1 maxvalue 2147483647 minvalue 1 cache 1; /* -------------------------------------------------------- Table structure for table "asv_bible" -------------------------------------------------------- */ CREATE TABLE "asv_bible" ( "id" int8 NOT NULL, "book" int8, "chapter" int8, "verse" int8, "versetext" text, CONSTRAINT "asv_bible_pkey" PRIMARY KEY ("id") ); /* -------------------------------------------------------- Table structure for table "book_bible" -------------------------------------------------------- */ CREATE TABLE "book_bible" ( "id" int4 DEFAULT nextval('book_bible_seq'::text) NOT NULL, "book_name" varchar(20), CONSTRAINT "book_bible_pkey" PRIMARY KEY ("id") ); Right now it takes 9 seconds to return the results. I was wondering if anyone could offer any help with lowering the time it takes to run? Or if this is the normal runtime for a database of this size, I'd just like confirmation.
