Hi all,
I'm working with a database structured like so:
<data> <element>...</element> <element>...</element> <element>...</element> </data>
There are a total of about 1.5 million <element> nodes in the database. Each <element> has many child nodes, one of which is uncommon -- it only appears in 727 <element>s.
I'm writing a query that has a condition on this uncommon field, but the query takes about 20 seconds to run, whereas another with a condition on a child node that appears in every <element> only takes about 20 milliseconds to run.
Based on the Info in the GUI, it does appear that the text index is being used -- I see 'apply text index for "..."'. Is it expected that the query time would be this much longer? Is the text index somehow built differently for nodes that don't appear often in the database?
Thanks in advance, Matt
