Re: [PERFORM] simple query join
Title: Message Eek. Casting both to varchar makes it super quick so I'll fix up the tables. Added to the list of things to check for next time... On a side note - I tried it with 7.4.1 on another box and it handled it ok. Thanks again :) Chris. -Original Message-From: Steven Butler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 6:12 PMTo: Chris Smith; [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Re: [PERFORM] simple query join Looks to me like it's because your assetid is varchar in one table and an integer in the other table. AFAIK, PG is unable to use an index join when the join types are different. The query plan shows it is doing full table scans of both tables. Change both to varchar or both to integer and see what happens. Also make sure to vacuum analyze the tables regularly to keep the query planner statisticsup-to-date.

[PERFORM] simple query join
Title: Message Hi all, I've got what should be a relatively simple join between two tables that is taking forever and I can't work out why. Version 7.3.4RH. It can't be upgraded because the system is kept in sync with RedHat Enterprise (using up2date). Not my system otherwise I'd do that :( Database has been 'vacuum analyze'd. blah= \d sq_asset; Table "public.sq_asset" Column | Type | Modifiers +-+--type_code | character varying(100) | not nullversion | character varying(20) | not null default '0.0.0'name | character varying(255) | not null default ''short_name | character varying(255) | not null default ''status | integer | not null default 1languages | character varying(50) | not null default ''charset | character varying(50) | not null default ''force_secure | character(1) | not null default '0'created | timestamp without time zone | not nullupdated | timestamp without time zone | not nullcreated_userid | character varying(255) | not null default '0'updated_userid | character varying(255) | not null default '0'assetid | integer | not null default 0Indexes: sq_asset_pkey primary key btree (assetid) blah= select count(*) from sq_asset;count ---16467(1 row) blah= \d sq_asset_permission; Table "public.sq_asset_permission" Column | Type | Modifiers ++--permission | integer | not null default 0access | character(1) | not null default '0'assetid | character varying(255) | not null default '0'userid | character varying(255) | not null default '0'Indexes: sq_asset_permission_pkey primary key btree (assetid, userid, permission) "sq_asset_permission_access" btree ("access") "sq_asset_permission_assetid" btree (assetid) "sq_asset_permission_permission" btree (permission) "sq_asset_permission_userid" btree (userid) blah= select count(*) from sq_asset_permission;count ---73715(1 row) EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT p.*FROM sq_asset a, sq_asset_permission pWHERE a.assetid = p.assetidAND p.permission = '1'AND p.access = '1'AND p.userid = '0'; QUERY PLANNested Loop (cost=0.00..4743553.10 rows=2582 width=27) (actual time=237.91..759310.60 rows=11393 loops=1) Join Filter: (("inner".assetid)::text = ("outer".assetid)::text) - Seq Scan on sq_asset_permission p (cost=0.00..1852.01 rows=2288 width=23) (actual time=0.06..196.90 rows=12873 loops=1) Filter: ((permission = 1) AND ("access" = '1'::bpchar) AND (userid = '0'::character varying)) - Seq Scan on sq_asset a (cost=0.00..1825.67 rows=16467 width=4) (actual time=1.40..29.09 rows=16467 loops=12873)Total runtime: 759331.85 msec(6 rows) It's a straight join so I can't see why it would be this slow.. The tables are pretty small too. Thanks for any suggestions :) Chris.
