Indeksy na kolumnach z wartościami nullowymi cz. 1

A tak dokładnie aby zadziałał, gdy chcemy zrobić zapytanie:

select * from tablica where kolumna is null;

Zakładamy wtedy indeks funkcyjny: 

create index kolumna_idx on tablica (NVL(kolumna,TO_DATE(' 4000-01-01', 'syyyy-mm-dd')))

I wtedy musimy tak konstruować zapytanie, aby mogło wykorzystać powyższy indeks: 

select * from tablica   where NVL(kolumna,TO_DATE('4000-01-01', 'syyyy-mm-dd')) = TO_DATE('4000-01-01', 'syyyy-mm-dd')

Dla porównania koszt tradycyjnego zapytania: 

select count(*) from dh_monitor.events where valid_to is null

to 8122. Dla porównania, zapytanie które wykorzystuje indeks ma koszt 3!!!

select count(*) from  events where NVL(VALID_TO,TO_DATE('4000-01-01 ', 'syyyy-mm-dd')) = TO_DATE('4000-01-01', 'syyyy-mm-dd')

Dla tabeli, gdzie stosunek ilości nullowych wierszy do wszystkich w tabeli wynosi: 6.568/5.999.617

Grails render as JSON catch

One of a reasons your controller doesn't render a proper response in JSON format might be wrong package name that you use. It is easy to overlook. Import are on top of a file, you look at your code and everything seems to be fine. Except response is still not in JSON format.

Consider this simple controller:

class RestJsonCatchController {
def grailsJson() {
render([first: 'foo', second: 5] as grails.converters.JSON)
    }

def netSfJson() {
render([first: 'foo', second: 5] as net.sf.json.JSON)
    }
}

And now, with finger crossed... We have a winner!

$ curl localhost:8080/example/restJsonCatch/grailsJson
{"first":"foo","second":5}
$ curl localhost:8080/example/restJsonCatch/netSfJson
{first=foo, second=5}

As you can see only grails.converters.JSON converts your response to JSON format. There is no such converter for net.sf.json.JSON, so Grails has no converter to apply and it renders Map normally.

Conclusion: always carefully look at your imports if you're working with JSON in Grails!

Edit: Burt suggested that this is a bug. I've submitted JIRA issue here: GRAILS-9622 render as class that is not a codec should throw exception
