Hi,
we have table having 23 million rows.
This is the table structure.
Table Request:
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------+-----------------------------+-----------
origindb | character(1) | not null
uid | integer | not null
rtype | integer |
senderid | integer |
destaddr | character varying(15) |
opid | integer |
devmodel | integer |
ikind | integer |
itemid | character varying(10) |
tranfk | integer |
enteredon | timestamp without time zone |
status | integer |
accountid | integer |
Indexes:
"request_pkey" primary key, btree (origindb, uid)
I do max Query like this
select max(uid) from request where originDB=1;
it took around 20 min to return the result.. Since
max, count functions do the full table scan, i tried
the workaround given..
select uid from request where originDB=1 order by uid
desc limit 1;
this query runs forever.. i tried even without where
condition..no result..
I'm not able to figure out what could be the reason..
can anybody help?
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Priya
