Optimizing Postgres Select Large Table Queries: Understanding Table Bloat and Indexing Strategies
Understanding Postgres Select Large Table Timeout As a PostgreSQL user, you’ve encountered a frustrating issue: when running SELECT * FROM table, your query hangs with a timeout, but as soon as you add a WHERE clause to filter records, it executes quickly. This behavior seems counterintuitive, especially when considering that you’re selecting only the most recent records. In this article, we’ll delve into the reasons behind this phenomenon and explore ways to optimize your queries for better performance.

Improving Data Reshaping for Advanced Analysis: Mixed Effects Models vs Traditional Linear Regression
The code you provided is a good start, but it can be improved. Here’s an updated version: library(dplyr) # Group by gene and gender, then calculate the slope of expression vs time using lm() sample %>% group_by(gene, gender) %>% do(slope = lm(expression ~ time, data = .)) %>% ungroup() %>% summarise(across(equals(rownames(.)$`coef[2]`))) -> slopes # If you want to reshape the output, you can use pivot_longer slopes %>% pivot_longer(cols = -gene) %>% mutate(category = name) %>% arrange(gene, category) However, there are many possible ways to reshape your data for analysis.

Decomposing the Problem of Importing Dissimilar Schema and Fanning Out an Array of Categories into a Categories Table in Postgres
Postgres: Decomposing the Problem of Importing Dissimilar Schema and “Fanning Out” an Array of Categories into a Categories Table As data migration and integration become increasingly complex, it’s not uncommon to encounter scenarios where two or more dissimilar schemas need to be integrated. One such challenge involves importing a dataset with a comma-delimited list of categories from one schema, while another schema already has a table of category names. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the world of Postgres and explore how to decompose this problem, using SQL as our tool of choice.
