Performance of like 'query%' on multimillion rows, postgresql -

-

we have table 10 million rows. need find first few rows 'user%' .

this query fast if matches @ least 2 rows (it returns results in 0.5 sec). if doesn't find 2 rows matching criteria, taking @ least 10 sec. 10 secs huge (since using auto suggestions, users not wait long see suggestions.)

query: select distinct(name) user_sessions name 'user%' limit 2;

in above query, name column of type citext , indexed.

whenever you're working on performance, start explaining query. that'll show the query optimizer's plan, , can sense of how long it's spending doing various pieces. in particular, check full table scans, mean database examining every row in table.

since query fast when finds , slow when doesn't, sounds indeed hitting full table scan. believe it's indexed, since you're doing like, standard string index can't used efficiently. you'll want check out varchar_pattern_ops (or text_pattern_ops, depending on column type of name). create way:

create index on pattern_index_on_users_name on users (name varchar_pattern_ops)

after creating index, check explain query make sure it's being used. text_pattern_ops doesn't work citext extension, in case you'll have index , search lower(name) case-insensitive performance:

create index on pattern_index_on_users_name on users (lower(name) text_pattern_ops) 
select * users lower(name) 'user%' limit 2

java - Copying object fields -

-
what best way of copying classes when need have 2 independent variables? have simple class: public class myclass { boolean = false; string b= "not empty"; } do need make method : assign(myclass data ) { a= data.a; b= data.b; } is there automatic method copy (duplicate) objects in java? do need make method : pretty close. instead of making method, should make constructor. such constructors called copy constructor , , create them this: myclass(myclass data) { = data.a; b = data.b; } and create copy of instance, use constructor this: myclass obj1 = new myclass(); myclass obj2 = new myclass(obj1); copy constructor can tedious : using copy constructor create deep-copy can tedious, when class has mutable fields. in case, assignment create copy of reference, , not object itself. have create copy of fields (if want deep copy). can go recursive. a better way create deep copy serialize , deserialize object. why not use clone()? ...

c++ - Clear the memory after returning a vector in a function -

-
i have function processes , stores lot of data in , returns results vector of class. amount of data stored in function tremendous , want clear storage memory of function after finished job. necessary (does function automatically clear memory) or should clear memory function? update: vector<customers> process(char* const *filename, vector<int> id) { vector<customers> list_of_customers; (perform actions) return list_of_customers; } variables defined locally within function automatically released @ end of function scope. destructors objects called, should free memory allocated objects (if objects coded correctly). example of such object std::vector . anything you've allocated new must have corresponding delete release storage. try avoid doing own allocation , use raii instead, i.e. containers or smart pointers.
