Re: Increasing pattern index query speed

Scott,

>You may also end up setting higher statistics targets on some other columns
to fix other issues. You may want to set the value in the configuration
file higher than the default 10 -- I'd recommend starting with 40 and
re-analyzing the tables.

Thank you.

I set rid.toode statistics target to 1000. analyze rid now takes 40 seconds.
More queries run less than 10 seconds after this change.

I set default_statistic target to 40 and ran ANALYZE.

However there are still queries which take more than 10 seconds.

How to speed this up ?

'RIISIPERE%' is shop group code. Using this condition can limit scan to 6
times less documentes since there are 6 shops.
Mayber is it possible to create indexes or other way to force index search
for condition

dok.doktyyp IN
('V','G','Y','K','I','T','D','N','H','M','E','B','A','R','C','F','J','Q')
AND CASE WHEN NOT dok.objrealt OR dok.doktyyp='I' THEN dok.yksus
ELSE rid.kuluobjekt END LIKE 'RIISIPERE%'
)
OR
( dok.doktyyp IN ('O','S','I','U','D','P')
AND CASE WHEN dok.objrealt THEN rid.kuluobjekt ELSE dok.sihtyksus
END LIKE 'RIISIPERE%'
)

or is it possible to re-write this condition so that it uses existing
pattern indexes

CREATE INDEX dok_sihtyksus_pattern_idx ON firma2.dok (sihtyksus
bpchar_pattern_ops);
CREATE INDEX dok_yksus_pattern_idx ON firma2.dok (yksus
bpchar_pattern_ops);

without changing tables structureˇ?
