Hello List,

I have a small question about the order of values in a query. Assume I have a 
table with the following fields:
  uid INT,
  data BIGINT,
  hits INT

And an unique index on (uid, data). I use libpq C API to query data from the 
table. The query is something like this:
SELECT uid,data,hits FROM mytable WHERE uid=2 AND data IN 
(2033,2499,590,19,201,659)

Would the speed of the query be influenced if I would sort the data? I can 
imagine that just querying a bunch of bigint would not make a big difference 
but what about several thousand of values? Would sorting them and sending the 
SQL query with ordered data influence the speed of the query?
