Hello!
I have a query on a large table that is very fast (0s):
https://gist.github.com/collimarco/039412b4fe0dcf39955888f96eff29db#file-fast_query-txt
Basically the query matches the rows that have a tag1 OR tag2 OR tag3 OR
tag4 OR tag5...
However if you increase the number of OR at some point PostgreSQL makes the
bad decision to change its query plan! And the new plan makes the query
terribly slow:
https://gist.github.com/collimarco/039412b4fe0dcf39955888f96eff29db#file-slow_query-txt
Instead of this (which is fast):
Bitmap Index Scan on index_subscriptions_on_project_id_and_tags
It starts using this (which is slow):
Parallel Index Scan using index_subscriptions_on_project_id_and_created_at
The choice seems quite stupid since it doesn't have the tags on the new
index... and indeed the query takes about 1 minute instead of a few
milliseconds. Here's a list of the available indexes:
https://gist.github.com/collimarco/039412b4fe0dcf39955888f96eff29db#file-_indexes-txt
How can I encourage PostgreSQL to use the Bitmap Index Scan even when there
are many OR conditions? I have tried with VACUUM ANALYZE subscriptions but
it doesn't help.
Note: the query is generated dynamically by customers of a SaaS, so I don't
have full control on it
Thank you very much for any advice!
