I setup postgersql-9.0.2 in a fairly new debian (Debian GNU/Linux 5.0) (2x AMD athlon @2.2GZ, 4GB Mem) (lets call this LINUX_TEST) with the exact same small db as currently in FBSD_TEST test (derived from FBSD_DEV) and the times i get for this particular query (known from the previous posts) are bad (and of course much worse than the faster FBSD_TEST, which is normal since LINUX_TEST is a slower/older machine) The plans are identical for the two 9.0.2 boxes. (FBSD_TEST, LINUX_TEST) In the LINUX_TEST i have left only postgres running to decrease the uncontrolled consumption of resources and reduce the probability of swapping (i.e. gave all machine to postgresql) The query is (i rewrite it here) SELECT distinct m.id,coalesce(m.givenname,''),coalesce(m.midname,''),m.surname from marinerstates ms,vessels vsl,mariner m where m.id=ms.marinerid and ms.vslid=vsl.id and ms.state='Active' and coalesce(ms.endtime,now())::date >= '2006-07-15' and ms.starttime::date <= '2007-01-11' and m.marinertype='Mariner' and m.id not in (SELECT distinct mold.id from marinerstates msold,vessels vslold,mariner mold where mold.id=msold.marinerid and msold.vslid=vslold.id and msold.state='Active' and coalesce(msold.endtime,now())::date >= '2006-07-15' and msold.starttime::date <= '2007-01-11' and exists (select 1 from marinerstates msold2 where msold2.marinerid=msold.marinerid and msold2.state='Active' and msold2.id <> msold.id and msold2.starttime<msold.starttime AND (msold.starttime-msold2.endtime)<='18 months') and mold.marinertype='Mariner' ) order by m.surname,coalesce(m.givenname,''),coalesce(m.midname,''); LINUX_TEST : query : Time: 6685.910 ms , EXPLAIN ANALYZE : Total runtime: 111169.959 ms FBSD_TEST : query : Time: 2284,918 ms , EXPLAIN ANALYZE : Total runtime: 10432.405 ms And for the NOT EXISTS version: SELECT distinct m.id,coalesce(m.givenname,''),coalesce(m.midname,''),m.surname from marinerstates ms,vessels vsl,mariner m where m.id=ms.marinerid and ms.vslid=vsl.id and ms.state='Active' and coalesce(ms.endtime,now())::date >= '2006-07-15' and ms.starttime::date <= '2007-01-11' and m.marinertype='Mariner' and NOT EXISTS (SELECT distinct mold.id from marinerstates msold,vessels vslold,mariner mold where mold.id=msold.marinerid and msold.vslid=vslold.id and msold.state='Active' and coalesce(msold.endtime,now())::date >= '2006-07-15' and msold.starttime::date <= '2007-01-11' and exists (select 1 from marinerstates msold2 where msold2.marinerid=msold.marinerid and msold2.state='Active' and msold2.id <> msold.id and msold2.starttime<msold.starttime AND (msold.starttime-msold2.endtime)<='18 months') and mold.marinertype='Mariner' AND mold.id=m.id) order by m.surname,coalesce(m.givenname,''),coalesce(m.midname,''); LINUX_TEST : query : Time: 771.730 ms , EXPLAIN ANALYZE : Total runtime: 1248.320 ms FBSD_TEST : query : Time: 139,568 ms , EXPLAIN ANALYZE : Total runtime: 173.524 ms So, it seems that the original "not in" version of the query suffers in postgresql 9.0.2 -- Achilleas Mantzios -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
