Re: Query puts 7.3.4 on endless loop but 7.4beta5 is fine.

This query has to read through every ticket in the system and check if the
current user has access to it? It seems like this isn't going to be a terribly
fast query no matter how you slice it.

One thing that might help keep its run-time from growing is a partial index
  WHERE type = 'ticket' and (status = 'new' OR status = 'open')

(I'm not sure what the point of the effectiveid=id clause is)

That at least might help when 99% of your tickets are old closed tickets. But
it will still have to scan through every new and open ticket which on some
systems could be a large number.
