Comment on Rapid schema development with PostgreSQLparent

Comments

there are so many variables in that anecdote that there is nothing that can be gleaned from it.

Alright, these were approximately the fields that were Postgre-fied.

CREATE TABLE event ( "references" text[], (was 2 tables, references and reference_on_event) "entities" text[], (ditto) "actors" text[], (ditto) "targets" text[], (ditto) "payload" json, (EAV) )

Gin index on all the text arrays. There are about 150k events saved per day and PostgreSQL is running on the same kinds of hardware as SQL Server was. The application is quite read heavy.
