Re: [sqlite] calculated-value indexes are not covering?

Nico, I respectfully disagree, if you look at my first post you can see that the first query does consider that single value index on s covering. Indeed all the indexes here have all the required data to be covering for their queries. As David says, it seems there is a missed optimization opportun

By far the best generic SQL book, IMO, is the O'Reilly "SQL" Pocket Guide. It's very small and yet fairly comprehensive. It covers Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, and MySQL. But it's very general and brief, and everything it has to teach you is generally applicable to PostgreSQL and SQLite3. Nico --

Re: [sqlite] calculated-value indexes are not covering?

There's the issue of whether SQLite takes the value from the index, or recalculates it from the table data. So for a "covering index" you would need to index all the inputs to the function, for example sqlite> create index lc on t (length(s), s); sqlite> explain query plan select distinct lengt

Re: [sqlite] Using multi-value indexes for subset queries

Sqlite is just really smart :) Doing a `count(*)` on my table with one constraint of a two-valued index does a table scan and completes in 9ms, and when I force use of the index, it's 100ms. I'll stop trying to second-guess the query optimizer now ;) On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 5:11 PM Wout Mertens wr

Re: [sqlite] Using multi-value indexes for subset queries

There's a guideline for what sort of things SQLite will look for in an index and a query. There are plenty of more advanced ways to make use of indexes I'm sure, but currently those would fall into "future optimization opportunities." http://www.sqlite.org/optoverview.html In your case the index

Your experiments are not reproducible unless you provide at least an indication of the schema. Most probably, something you have not yet considered/revealed makes using the index to look up a irrelevant. Maybe a is declared as "integer primary key", making it an alias of the rowid. -Ursprü

An index is only usable for that subset of a queries' equality constraints that forms a leading subset of the fields handled by the index. E.g.if you are looking at equality constraints for fields a, b and c in one query, then you need an index whose first three fields are a, b and c (in any o
