Hi Eliot -

Others are much more proficient and knowledgeable, but I try the following:

1. ABI := Always Be Indexing :)
2. I think that Christian has expressed that, with indexes in play, many queries can experience significant optimizations by reversing the query pattern; eg starting with the attribute value and working back up from there, etc.
3. The optimized query view can be super helpful in this regard, too.

I'm sure there are other, better habits and strategies, I know (I just don't have them ingrained! 🙂). Other users will share, I'm sure.

Have a pleasant weekend!
Best,
Bridger

I profiled the db:open() and collection() calls and they were basically instantaneous.

 

Moving to using db:attribute() and the index makes my process 100x times faster. Now I feel like a bit of an idiot for not having figured this out sooner.

 

Somebody needs to write the Optimizing BaseX book….

 

Cheers,

 

E.

can you take the db:open() call out and see how much faster the
expression runs without it?

return (db:option('attrindex'),
      let $db := db:open($rkDatabase)
      return
      for $node in $map

      return
prof:track($db/doc-where-used-index/where-used-entry
/@key[xs:integer(.) eq 9151416])?time ! util:formatTime(.)

(if i have that right)
