Original index: "create index slog_gri_idx on slog (gid,rule,(case when rule
in (8,9) then
destip else srcip end)) WHERE (rule in (1, 2, 8, 9, 10))"
The purpose of that index is to match a specific query (one that gets run
frequently and needs to be fast). It is using the destip when rule 8/9, and
srcip when other, but only for a subset of the rules (1,2,8,9,10). There are
about 18 rules in total, but I'm only interested in those 5. I have tried a
couple of indices like:
create index test_destip_idx on slog (gid,destip) where rule in (8,9);
create index test_srcip_idx on slog (gid,srcip) where rule in (1,2,10);
But the original slog_gri_idx index was used instead. Is there a way that I
can rewrite that index then? Not that I'm a fan of a CASE statement in a
functional index, but I'm at a loss as to how else I can create this. Or
what else I can look into to make this faster?
