You have a really complex query that is blazing fast

def bad_users_with_karma User.find_by_sql(query) end ! def query <<-SQL WITH bad_users
AS (SELECT * FROM users WHERE bad = true) SELECT * FROM bad_users WHERE karma > #{karma_limit} SQL end
VIEWS THANKS PSQL
PostgreSQL believes you can fly
PROBLEM
You really need to add all this complexity that makes
that query run in seconds…
a) You use a complex query b) You denormalize in
MongoDB c) Something else?

# Using textacular ! User.basic_search(“yannick”) User.basic_search(name: “yan:*”) User.fuzzy_search(“yannick”) # uses
trigrams ! create index on users using gin(to_tsvector('english', name));
PostgreSQL comes in multiple flavors and colors
Now, you know that the elephant database is more than
a datastore!
