Hi all,
please report your findings trying to use a new index special for DefinitionId as suggested by Edward.
We recently found for our data:
By adding indexes the running times of queries were reduced from days to several seconds.
Don’t be scared: you can always remove indexes by dropping them!
best,
Anton

Hi Anton and Samed,
Thank you for your reply.
I use PostgreSQL 12.9 on RHEL 8.4.
There are no DDL queries on the database in a whole day, so there is no lock state.
The pgbadger slow queries report shows this query ran for 43min 11sec.
And table and indexes definition is:
\d+ "T_CMN_SLAHISTORY"
Table "T_CMN_SLAHISTORY"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage | Stats target | Description
------------------+-----------------------------+-----------+----------+----------------------------------+----------+--------------+-------------
HistoryId | integer | | not null | generated by default as identity | plain | |
DefinitionId | integer | | not null | | plain | |
RuleName | character varying(200) | | not null | | extended | |
CreateUserId | integer | | not null | | plain | |
CreateUserTime | timestamp without time zone | | not null | | plain | |
LastRunningTime | timestamp without time zone | | | | plain | |
Cost | integer | | | | plain | |
UpdateUserId | integer | | | | plain | |
UpdateUserTime | timestamp without time zone | | | | plain | |
RecId | character varying(36) | | | | extended | |
MyTimeStamp | bytea | | | | extended | |
IsOldRecordBatch | boolean | | | | plain | |
InstanceId | bigint | | | | plain | |
Indexes:
"T_CMN_SLAHISTORY_HistoryId_idx" UNIQUE, btree ("HistoryId")

"Index-20180712-192739" btree ("DefinitionId", "IsOldRecordBatch")

Hi Liam,
top tuning tip for every relational database is: indexes!
I have adminstrated databases where data was 300 GB and created indexes 600 GB
You may think thats useless redundant but ist definitively not.
Rules for indexing:
Does it make sense to create an index for a table with one or several douzends of entries? -> YES!
Does it make sense to create an index that is optimized for certain queries? -> YES!
Does it make sense to create an index, make the query and drop the index? -> YES
Even with tables with billions of entries you should get answer times of less than a second!
… if you have a good index: date for example where the database engine plays ist full potental.
For example see: https://www.enterprisedb.com/postgres-tutorials/overview-postgresql-indexes
Which indexes do you have?
best,
A

Betreff: postgresql long running query
Hello Team,
I have a problem with a query that consumes a long time.
The query' execution plan is :
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT x."HistoryId", x."SlaDefinition" FROM "T_CMN_SLAHISTORY" AS x WHERE x."DefinitionId" = '302';
QUERY PLAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bitmap Heap Scan on "T_CMN_SLAHISTORY" x (cost=2144.77..35086.42 rows=139012 width=8) (actual time=58.806..116.874 rows=135498 loops=1)
Recheck Cond: ("DefinitionId" = 302)
Heap Blocks: exact=2175
-> Bitmap Index Scan on "Index-20180712-192739" (cost=0.00..2110.02 rows=139012 width=0) (actual time=57.043..57.045 rows=135498 loops=1)
Index Cond: ("DefinitionId" = 302)
Planning Time: 11.132 ms
Execution Time: 120.320 ms
But, the query execution time was 43min 11seconds in the morning in pgbadger report. I don't understand why the query is taking so long. Can you guide me?
Thank you so much.
