-- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ -- Drop two never-used indexes on storage.files (pure write overhead) -- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ -- storage.files carries 13 indexes; every INSERT/DELETE and every rename -- (UPDATE of name) must maintain all of them. Two of those indexes are never -- chosen by the planner for any query the application issues — confirmed both -- statically (query text) and empirically (EXPLAIN + pg_stat_user_indexes over -- the real query shapes on a 50k-row table, idx_scan = 0 for both): -- -- 1. idx_files_name_search (user_id, name text_pattern_ops) -- Every file-name search is `name ILIKE '%term%'`. A `text_pattern_ops` -- B-tree cannot serve ILIKE (case-insensitive), a leading-`%` substring, -- nor a default-collation `ORDER BY name` — all of those are served by -- idx_files_name_trgm (GIN). The one exact `name = $1` lookup -- (find_file_by_path) is `WHERE folder_id = $1 AND name = $2`, served by -- the UNIQUE (folder_id, name, user_id) index, never by (user_id, name). -- -- 2. idx_files_category_order (category_order) -- `category_order` is only ever emitted as a derived `type_order` alias -- inside the folders⊎files UNION-ALL listing (and the favorites/recent/ -- trash variants); the ORDER BY runs over the post-UNION result, so a -- single-column index on storage.files cannot provide presorted output. -- The real listing uses idx_files_folder_id + a top-N sort. -- -- Dropping both removes a B-tree write from every file mutation. Measured -- ~6% faster single-row inserts (50k loop, all triggers active) with no query -- regression (the planner never used these indexes). Reversible: recreate from -- the definitions in 20260307000000 / 20260527000001 if a future query needs -- a (user_id, name) prefix or a category_order leading sort. -- -- NOTE: the folder analog idx_folders_path (path text_pattern_ops) is KEPT — -- it is genuinely used for exact `WHERE path = $1` equality lookups.
