@m_holtermann Database normalization is great!
@m_holtermann Always?
@m_holtermann Yet Another Wiki
@m_holtermann Page + PageID Name Slug Revision + RevisionID PageID
Text Date Database Schema
@m_holtermann Task 1: Fetch a single page and its current
revision
@m_holtermann Task 2: Fetch all page titles and the date
of their current revision
Task 1: Fetch a single page SELECT * FROM page
INNER JOIN revision ON page.page_id = revision.page_id WHERE page.slug = 'some-slug' ORDER BY revision.date DESC LIMIT 1;
Task 2: Fetch all pages SELECT page.name, last_revs.date FROM page
INNER JOIN ( SELECT revision.page_id, MAX(revision.date) date FROM revision GROUP BY revision.page_id ) last_revs ON page.page_id = last_revs.page_id;
@m_holtermann Benchmark Environment • Intel i7-6600U, 2.60GHz • 8 GB
Memory • PostgreSQL 9.6.5 • 10k pages, 6m revisions
@m_holtermann Task 1: Fetch a single page Concurrent queries 10
Pages per connection 1000 Queries per page 10 Queries total 100000
