1. please do not top-post.
2. for this query, you can use this index:
create index xxx on system_alarm (id_camera, date, time) where confirmed = 'false' and dismissed = 'false';
or you can make it without where:
create index xxx on system_alarm (id_camera, confirmed, dismissed, date, time);
but if you usually have the criteria "confirmed = 'false' and dismissed
= 'false'" then the first index should be faster.
