Is a table with 10 million of rows with a primary key but conditions used in
select are not part of PK.
My table is like this:
Column 1 - PK
Column 2 - Indexed
Column 3 - Indexed
Column 2 and Column 3 are Indexed in the same index but they are not mark as
unique or PK
The Query is like this:
Select column1 from myTable where Column2 between X and Y
I am expecting just one record

This really depends on the type of query you're talking about. If there's
only one row in the table you're querying then no, I don't think it'll
change anything. If you're querying a single row using a primary key it
shouldn't change anything. If you're doing an aggregate query, say a sum of
a bunch of rows, it also won't improve performance.
If you're doing a query on a table with multiple rows and not filtering by a
primary key or other unique index then yes, it will improve the query.

Subject: [ADMIN] using limit
Hi
I really like to do efficient SQL queries so, my question is if I am
expecting no more than one row from a select, using the LIMIT 1 could
improve the performance?
If I use my logic, the LIMIT 1 instruction tell to postgres that stop
searching when found 1 record, but maybe it is unnecessary
Thanks
