Thanks both of you, I ran EXPLAIN command on above suggested query and got following result: "Aggregate (cost=2.77..2.79 rows=1 width=10)" " -> Seq Scan on studentfeespayment (cost=0.00..2.77 rows=1 width=10)" " Filter: (date_part('month'::text, (recieptmonthyear)::timestamp without time zone) = 4::double precision)" What does this mean? Can I optimize it better?
create index lala on "StudentFeesPayment"(Extract(Month from "ReceiptMonthYear")) explain Select max("ReceiptNo") from "StudentFeesPayment" where Extract(Month from "ReceiptMonthYear")=4; Aggregate (cost=14.97..14.98 rows=1 width=4) -> Bitmap Heap Scan on "StudentFeesPayment" (cost=4.33..14.94 rows=10 width=4) Recheck Cond: (date_part('month'::text, ("ReceiptMonthYear")::timestamp without time zone) = 4::double precision) -> Bitmap Index Scan on lala (cost=0.00..4.33 rows=10 width=0) Index Cond: (date_part('month'::text, ("ReceiptMonthYear")::timestamp without time zone) = 4::double precision) See: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/indexes-expressional.html ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
