In my application every time I send a newsletter to a User, I create a NewsletterDelivery record. I frequently want to be able to query, for each user, what is the most recent newsletter delivery record. This is called a "last n per group" query and a LATERAL JOIN is the best way to do it imo. But the query I've been using (and I've told people to use, and seen blogged about) is not very good, because the conditions don't get pushed down into the subselect which means that the query ends-up lateral-joining all the records before it applies the conditions for the association.

Instead of doing subselect_table.* the better query does association.id AS assocation_id, subselect_table.id, subselect_table.title, .... and enumerates over all of the columns. This allows the association query, which Active Record tacks on at the end as WHERE association_id = $1 or WHERE association_id IN ($1, $2, $3, ...) to be pushed down c

Unofficial bash strict mode

Unofficial Bash Strict Mode

Sometimes a programming language has a "strict mode" to restrict unsafe constructs. E.g., Perl has use strict, Javascript has "use strict", and Visual Basic has Option Strict. But what about bash? Well, bash doesn't have a strict mode as such, but it does have an unofficial strict mode:

set -euo pipefail

set -e

Best practices for presto sql

Presto Specific

  • Don’t SELECT *, Specify explicit column names (columnar store)
  • Avoid large JOINs (filter each table first)
    • In PRESTO tables are joined in the order they are listed!!
    • Join small tables earlier in the plan and leave larger fact tables to the end
    • Avoid cross joins or 1 to many joins as these can degrade performance
  • Order by and group by take time
    • only use order by in subqueries if it is really necessary
  • When using GROUP BY, order the columns by the highest cardinality (that is, most number of unique values) to the lowest.
