comment Is a composite index also good for queries on the first field?
@Zoltán: It depends. For very small columns (like two integer) the index on (a,b) would make an additional index on (a) pointless. For bigger columns it may be different. Start a question if you need more details.

comment Mirrored tables on PostgreSQL
Sure you can. But that would defeat it's purpose, wouldn't it? Since you seem to understand that metaphor: it's lake making a hard copy from a symlink in the file system. Except if you mean in the sense of a materialized view? There is a new feature for that in the upcoming version 9.3 btw.

comment How to import a text file with '|' delimited data to PostgreSQL database?
For starters, to ask a serious question, you need to provide your PostgreSQL version, the full command you are using, some sample data and the table definition.
