Re: Query taking seq scan on a table

Also I have tried to add a GIN index for better text search as below, 

CREATE INDEX idx_fnmae_lname_gin_composite ON wldbowner.member USING gin
(lower((((fname)::text || ' '::text) || (lname)::text)) rdsadmin.gin_trgm_ops);

Hello,

show seq_page_cost;   1

show random_page_cost; 4

Set this to 1 and rerun the explain analyze and let us know what you see. 

You are using an SSD and the value of 4 should not be apt. 

storage type : SSD 

Table size : 39 GB 

There are no columns added, also I haven't found anything where we need to update the data for older rows.

Thanks

Hello all, 

I am facing issues with one of the queries running on Amazon Aurora (PG VERSION 9.6) which is taking more than a minute to complete. As per the initial investigation I assume that one part of the query is taking a sequential scan on a table("wldbowner.member") which is consuming most of the execution time. I tried to use index (Btree and GIN ) as well but none of them were helping to get the query to run faster. Attached is the query along with the explain analyze of the same, any help on the same would be appreciated. 

NOTE : I have done the vacuum on the table already to get rid of bloat issues.

             Reindex and test with more work mem is also helping.

Just wanted to clarify one thing before looking at the query. 

What is random_page_cost set to ? 

Thanks and regards
