Hello Postgres users
I have a question regarding the optimization of a query, I have a table that
contains approximately 14 millions of rows and I want to retrieve the
following information;
SELECT username, sum(bytes_used) AS TOTAL
FROM BIGTABLE
GROUP BY username
LIMIT 100;
Username is an Index varchar
bytes_used is float8 type
But it is really slow, it has been running for 1 hour and it simply does not
ends.
While the query is running, the table is been updating with more rows.
How can I improve it?
Thanks in advanced
