Hi,
Say I have a table of 3000 user's,
Before I insert another user I need to check if that user is already in
there, so I have a 3 column index on a table ( phone,lastname,firstname ).
First I check for the user using the index if they are not in there I
then add an new user so I now have 3001.
For my next user I then check again using the same procedure.
Is the following correct ?
As I have not yet Analyzed the db my index is still 3000 rows and my
user table is 3001.
If I add another user my index is still 3000 and my table 3002.
So I either analyze after each insert or use a seqential scan.
I wonder this as I have a csv file of users to bulk insert each day.
Typically I'll have a file of 1500 or so users to add or append data to.
Thanks.
