Subject: Remove the file_fp_idx index for Postgresql (FilenameId, PathId) on
X-Git-Tag: Release-7.0.0~2616^2~24
X-Git-Url: https://git.sur5r.net/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8e7a742d1b1d90703ba65256b48fd3681dffad04;p=bacula%2Fbacula

Remove the file_fp_idx index for Postgresql (FilenameId, PathId) on
File table.
It is useless for common usage, and causes performance issues.
This index fragments over the time and the update cost grows
very quickly. (This index is not present on Mysql schema)
