It sounds like the table is already very much ordered by the workspaceid,
otherwise this would have taken much longer.

Depends on how many distinct values of workspaceid there are. I would
suggest that given how well ordered your table is, and if you aren't doing
too many writes, then there would be little benefit, and much hassle.

use complex numbers. -- Computer Science Lecturer
