Hello,
The Query Plan for the query below shows a large number in its actual rows
count by an unknown reason. As a result Merge Join works on a large enough
data to slow down the query.
The table which I query has the following description:
Table
"public.qor_value"
Column | Type |
Modifiers | Storage | Description
-------------+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+----------+-------------
value_id | integer | not null default
nextval('qor_value_denorm_value_id_seq'::regclass) | plain |
run_id | integer | not
null | plain
|
dft_id | integer | not
null | plain
|
stat_id | integer | not
null | plain
|
key | character varying(128)
| |
extended |
value | numeric(22,10)
| |
main |
line_number | integer | not null default
nextval('qor_value_line_numbering'::regclass) | plain |
file_number | integer | not
null | plain
|
Indexes:
"qor_value_cluster" btree (run_id, stat_id) CLUSTER INVALID
"qor_value_filtered_self_join" btree (run_id, stat_id, key, dft_id,
line_number) INVALID
"qor_value_self_join" btree (run_id, stat_id, dft_id, key, line_number)
Here is the query:
EXPLAIN ANALYZE
SELECT *
FROM "qor_value" V1
INNER JOIN "qor_value" V2
USING ("dft_id", "stat_id", "key")
WHERE
V1."stat_id" = 342 AND
V1."run_id" = 60807 AND
V2."run_id" = 60875;

Total runtime: 544.646 ms
(7 rows)
Note that the second Index Scan has 66343 rows in place of 1388. Here is
the query which proves that:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "qor_value" WHERE run_id = 60875 AND stat_id = 342;
count
-------
1388
Please help me to figure out where the problem is.
Thanks in advance,
Vahe
