G'day all ...
Dave asked me today about 'slow downs' on the search engines, so am
looking at the various queries generated by enabling
log_statement/log_duration, to get a feel for is something is "off" ...
and the following seems a bit weird ...
QueryA and QueryB are the same query, but against two different tables in
the databases ... QueryA takes ~4x longer to run then QueryB, but both
EXPLAINs look similar ... in fact, looking at the EXPLAIN ANALYZE output,
I would expect that QueryB would be the slower of the two ... but, the
actual vs estimated times for ndict5/ndict4 seem off (ndict4 is estimated
high, ndict5 is estimated low) ...
QueryA:
186_archives=# explain analyze SELECT ndict5.url_id,ndict5.intag
FROM ndict5, url
WHERE ndict5.word_id=1343124681
AND url.rec_id=ndict5.url_id
AND ((url.url || '') LIKE
'http://archives.postgresql.org/%%');
