    I would remove some granularity, for instance create a summary table
(materialized view) by month :

- date (contains the first day of the month)
- product_id
- total quantity, total price sold in given month

    You get the idea.
    If your products belong to categories, and you make queries on all the
products in a category, it could be worth making a summary table for
categories also.
