[MonetDB-users] Timestamp performance

Hi, How fast are join operations on timestamp fields compared to joins on int/bigint fields? I thought about using timestamp.unix_epoch to store numbers instead of timestamps to speed up joins, but if timestamp joins are just as fast then that wouldn't be necessary. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Timestamp-performance-tp23520512p23520512.html Sent from the monetdb-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

There should not be any type-specific join performance difference between int & timestamps --- in case of doubt, just test it ;-) Stefan

Hi,
timestamps are stored as integers internally in MonetDB. As such, the
join operations should have the same cost. However, I am not aware if
the sql optimizer has different optimization techniques depending the
type of the attributes to be joined, but I highly doubt it to be that
the case for timestamps vs. bigints.
