Re: Effective query for listing flags in use by messages in a folder
If you cannot change the message table and only want something more elegant than union & limit 1 then could produce array of flags and unnest them ... dont know what performance would be like ... i
select
-- folder_id,
flags
from (
select
folder_id,
unnest(
array[
case when max(is_seen::int)=1 then 'is_seen' end,
case when max(is_replied::int)=1 then 'is_replied' end,
case when max(is_forwarded::int)=1 then 'is_forwarded' end,
case when max(is_deleted::int)=1 then 'is_deleted' end,
case when max(is_draft::int)=1 then 'is_draft' end,
case when max(is_flagged::int)=1 then 'is_flagged' end
]
) as flags
from message
group by 1
)x
where folder_id=1 and flags is not null;

My recommendation is to hold the data as key value pairs not as a table with columns for each flag..
Taking your table message ... and loading into this key value pair table messaage2..
drop type if exists myflags cascade;
create type myflags as enum('is_seen','is_replied','is_forwarded','is_deleted','is_draft','is_flagged');
drop table if exists message2;
create table message2(
folder_id integer not NULL,
msg varchar(200),
is_flag myflags
);
insert into message2 select folder_id,msg,'is_seen' from message where is_seen is TRUE;
insert into message2 select folder_id,msg,'is_replied' from message where is_replied is TRUE;
insert into message2 select folder_id,msg,'is_forwarded' from message where is_forwarded is TRUE;
insert into message2 select folder_id,msg,'is_deleted' from message where is_deleted is TRUE;
insert into message2 select folder_id,msg,'is_draft' from message where is_draft is TRUE;
insert into message2 select folder_id,msg,'is_flagged' from message where is_flagged is TRUE;
select is_flag from message2 where folder_id=1 group by 1;
work=# select is_flag from message2 where folder_id=1 group by 1;
is_flag
------------
is_seen
is_deleted
is_replied
(3 rows)

OK I get it ..
drop type if exists myflags cascade;create type myflags as enum('is_seen','is_replied','is_forwarded','is_deleted','is_draft','is_flagged');drop table if exists message;create table message(folder_id integer not NULL,msg varchar(200),is_flag myflags);insert into message values(1,'msg b','is_seen'),(1,'msg c','is_seen'),(1,'msg d','is_seen'),(1,'msg d','is_replied'),(1,'msg e','is_seen'),(1,'msg e','is_replied'),(1,'msg h','is_deleted');
Not quite; you have 2 entries, one for each flag, for "msg d". I must have one tuple per message in this table.
