It is also important to note that during the creation of a table in CockroachDB, an implicit column called rowid will be created in the absence of an explicit Primary Key, as in this case. I intend to demonstrate the power that comes with an index by creating a table, called Manchester, which will consist of the following rows: Player, of type JSONB, and jersey_number, of type Integer, depicting players from Manchester United and the jersey numbers that they don, as of 25th April 2023. Phew, so much theory! Let’s make this a little more practical and fun. Broadly speaking, CockroachDB makes use of forward indexes as well as inverted indexes, both of which will be discussed in upcoming sections. Here is the explain analyze query report. 0005 SET randompagecost 2 Ask now Im asking for help, Im new to postgresql and the whole big database optimization. There are different types of indexes and the type of an index is often determined by the structure of data that gets stored in them. Settings I also appened some settings before the query which kinda got it to 9 seconds. This is done by creating copies of columns we want to index our data on wherein these copies also contain a link to the original row of the table since its retrieval could be required. Most databases make use of data structures, called indexes, that are designed to improve the performance of locating data at the expense of additional storage for a given database. The same task of scanning each and every row present in such a table proves to be time consuming and inefficient to say the least.
However, as is the case in many applications that use CockroachDB, this is a problem for tables consisting of a million rows. This works well for a query intended to run on a table consisting of a few hundred rows. A naive method of locating data within a table lies in scanning each row of the table and processing it, if required. In the wide world of databases, information stored in tables is required to be retrieved with consistency as well as with high speed. During the scope of this internship, I found myself working with indexes and specifically implementing forward indexes on columns storing JSONB, which resulted in speeding up query execution time by up to 98% in some cases! This blog post will go over the motivations for the implementation of these indexes, the main challenges that came up with the implementation, and some demonstrations of the staggering results.

During the Winter of 2023, I had the wonderful opportunity to work as a Software Engineering Intern on the SQL Queries team at Cockroach Labs.
