Sorting on Insert for Fast Selective Queries
Sorting data when loading can speed up selective read queries by an order of magnitude, thanks to DuckDB's automatic min-max indexes (also known as zone maps). This approach applies to most columnar file formats and databases as well. This post unpacks the DuckDB file structure as an example of a columnar data format and gives practical advice for using sorting to improve the speed of queries.
