How to make the select query comparatively faster in rails?

I was looking for best approach to get this query faster in rails. Currently it takes lots of time due to Geocoder calculations.



Vehicle.includes(:user)
.where.not('users.id' => nil)
.where(country: 'United Kingdom')
.where.not(name: [nil, ''])
.select


Note: Currently the db used is PostgreSQL 9.5.14.

    Have you considered using PostGIS? You wouldn't have to load all the records as you would be able to filter directly on DB level using ST_Distance.

  • Done; nope haven't tried postgis yet. Currently for the location 'geocoder' gem is used.

    Right now you can index only the fields you're searching by (users.id,country,name, etc.), indexing longitudes and latitudes without PostGIS won't help.

    As mentioned by @MarcinKołodziej PostGIS is the best and logic solution and any improve won't help because you are fetching lots of data which won't be in use, you can check the example in this link medium.com/@hin556/…

  1. Move vehicle.longitude.present? to database level:



    .where.not(longitude: [nil, ''])



  2. Your distance calculation has to be moved to be on database level. Loading all records and calculating distance for each of them in Ruby will be too slow. Simplest solution is to add PostGIS:



    1. Add PostGIS extension to your database.

    2. (Optional) add an adapter that will make it easier to work with the data.

    3. Migrate your existing latitudes/longitudes to st_point.

    4. Change your select to a scope which will leverage the ST_Distance function.


  3. As an alternative to 2), you may consider moving your distance querying to a search engine like ElasticSearch. I'd only consider that if you will have any performance problems with the complex query you're creating.
