FAQ
Hi,

For the following implementations:

1) storing boolean strings in fields X and Y separately
2) storing the same info in a field XY as 3 enums: X, Y, B, N meaning only X
is True, only Y is True, both are True or both are False

Is there significant performance gain when we substitute "X:T OR Y:T" by
"XY:B", while significant loss in "X:T" by "XY:X OR XY:B"? Or are they
negligible?

Thanks!

Tea

    As with most performance questions, it's best to try both and measure!
    It depends on the size of your index, the relative frequencies of X and
    Y, etc.
