When I am using the following query, I got shared hit=8857.
EXPLAIN (buffers true, analyze) select * from act;
QUERY
PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on act (cost=0.00..6308.82 rows=542312 width=735) (actual
time=0.007..516.199 rows=542312 loops=1)
Buffers: shared hit=8857
Total runtime: 1004.067 ms
Wherears, when I am using the following query, I got Buffers: shared
hit=416 read=46350
EXPLAIN (buffers true, analyze) select * from crm;
QUERY
PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on crm (cost=0.00..21558.94 rows=1688234 width=333) (actual
time=0.040..1738.903 rows=1688291 loops=1)
Buffers: shared hit=416 read=46350
Total runtime: 3257.872 ms
Could you please tell me why the different that is why I get read for one
query and not for others?
Thanks.
