Optimize performance for queries on recent rows of a large table

Question

I have a large table:

CREATE TABLE \"orders\" (
\"id\" serial NOT NULL,
\"person_id\" int4,
\"created\" int4,
CONSTRAINT \"orders_pkey\" PRIMARY KEY (\"id\")         


        

Answer 1

Suggesstion:-

It may help you. Since the table size is growing, your query performance going to be decreased gradually. Better maintain 3-5 days ( If you are very sure about going to access only 2-3 days ) records and periodically migrate the old records to backup table.
