Going from average ~100ms to ~10ms or so. The previous query had a
tendency to be much slower sometimes, let's see if this cache also takes
care of those outliers.
Migration script:
ALTER TABLE packages ADD COLUMN c_hasman boolean NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE;
DROP INDEX packages_system_name_key;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX packages_system_name_key ON packages (system, name) INCLUDE (id, c_hasman, dead);
UPDATE packages SET c_hasman = NOT c_hasman
WHERE c_hasman <> EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM package_versions pv WHERE pv.package = packages.id AND EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM files f WHERE f.pkgver = pv.id));
Primarily aimed at reducing the size of the old 'man' (now: files)
table, using smaller integers to refer to man contents and text fields,
and storing a shorthash as an integer for quick lookups. This better
normalization also removes the need to keep a separate 'man_index' cache
for the search function.
The old schema wasn't necessarily bad, but I was in the mood for some
optimizations. And a little cleanup.
Prolly introduces a bunch of new bugs, I haven't tested this too well.
The XML thing is supposed to be used for auto-completion, of course. The
current search implementation is very, very stupid and simple: Just a
prefix match on the man name, and simple detection of section stuff. I
suppose it'll suffice for now.
