Re: Find free appointments faster
Hi,
It may be that the condition on date reduces the number of candidate rows so much that the additional savings from using the index to restrict on time_start/time_end is smaller than the overhead of more subqueries. So it might not be more to save here.
If you need to add/substract a second, you should do it to the operand that is constant not to the column since the latter prevents the use of index. However, I think you can achieve what you want without adding seconds. If you have to intervals (a,b) and (c,d), could you not say that these overlap only if
c < b <= d OR a < d <= b
I.e., intervals do not overlap when start time of one interval equals end time of the other.
