Well the test runs were for 10GB of data. Schema is attached. Read in fixed fonts..Last nullable fields are dummies but may be used in fututre and varchars are not acceptable(Not my requirement). Tuple size is around 100 bytes.. The index creation query was CREATE INDEX index1 ON tablename (esn,min,datetime); What if I put datetime ahead? It's likely the the datetime field will have high degree of locality being log data..
