Hello Eric,
did you try with gin index instead ? so you could
avoid, if possible, the recheck condition (almost the gin index is not
lossy ), further if you always use a predicate like "gender=" , you could
think to partition the indexes based on that predicate (where status NOT IN
('ANULLED') and gender='FEMALE', in the other case it wil be where status
NOT IN ('ANULLED') and gender='MALE' ) . Moreover you could avoid also the
"lower" operator and try use directly the ilike , instead of "like".
CREATE INDEX tar_mvw_targeting_record_idx02 ON
tar_mvw_targeting_record USING gin ( status gin_trgm_ops) where
status NOT IN ('ANULLED') and gender='FEMALE' ;
CREATE INDEX tar_mvw_targeting_record_idx03 ON
tar_mvw_targeting_record USING gin ( status gin_trgm_ops) where
status NOT IN ('ANULLED') and gender='MALE' ;
explain (analyse on,buffers on) select T.form_id from
TAR_MVW_targeting_record AS T where T.status NOT IN ('ANULLED') AND
T.household_member_last_name ilike LOWER('%tu%') AND T.gender='FEMALE'
group by T.form_id;
I hope it works
have a nice day
