Hi
I have a simple query which uses 32ms on 7.4.14 and 1015ms on 8.2.0.
I guess 7.4.14 creates a better execution plan than 8.2.0 for this query but
i don't know how to get it to select a better one.
Explain analyse output will be found near the end of the e-mail.
(I have simplified my real query to get it as simple as possible. The original query
contain 6 tables and was acceptable on 7.4.2, but took far too long on 8.1.4)
I have made a test setup to compare 7.4.14, 8.1.4 and 8.2.0.
8.1.4 and 8.2.0 uses the same execution plan and same time to execute.
postgresql.conf values i changed is
7.4.14
Raised shared_buffers from 32MB to 128MB
Raised temp_buffers from 8MB to 32MB
8.2.0
Raised shared_buffers from 32MB to 128MB
Raised temp_buffers from 8MB to 32MB
Raised work_mem from 1MB to 8MB
(It did however not have any influence of speed for
the view_subset query shown below.)
vacuum analyze has been executed.
Computer:
Dell PowerEdge 2950
openSUSE Linux 10.1
Intel(R) Xeon 3.00GHz
4GB memory
xfs filesystem on SAS disks
Table "public.step_result_subset"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-------------+---------+-----------
id | integer | not null
uut_result | integer |
step_parent | integer |
Indexes:
"step_result_subset_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
"step_result_subset_parent_key" btree (step_parent)
"step_result_uut_result_idx" btree (uut_result)
Table contain 17 179 506 rows, and is ~400M when exported to file
Table "public.uut_result_subset"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------
id | integer | not null
start_date_time | timestamp without time zone |
Indexes:
"uut_result_subset_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
"uut_result_subset_start_date_time_idx" btree (start_date_time)
Table contain ~176 555 rows, and is ~4.7M when exportd to file
Query is defined as view:
create view view_subset as
select
ur.id as ur_id,
sr.id as sr_id
from
uut_result_subset as ur
inner join step_result_subset as sr
on ur.id=sr.uut_result
where
ur.start_date_time > '2006-12-11'
and sr.step_parent=0;
Explain analyze is run several times to get a stable result
so i guess the numbers presented is with as much as possible
data in memory buffers.
Column step_result_subset.step_parent contain 0 in as many rows as there are rows in table uut_result_subset.
(In my data set this will be 176 500 rows, Other values for step_result_subset.step_parent is present 1003 times and lower.)
Query: "select * from view_subset;" run against 7.4.14 server.

Thanks for tips.
