Hi Merlin, Here are the results. The query returned more rows (65 vs 12) because of the vague postal_code.
right. interestingly, the index didn't work properly anyways. regardless, this is easily solvable but it looks like we might be looking in the wrong place. do we have an multi-column index on facility_address(facility_id, address_id)? did you run analyze?
In reality, we would have to modify the postal_code logic to take advantage of full zip codes when they were avalable, not unconditionally truncate them. Carlo explain analyze select f.facility_id, fa.facility_address_id, a.address_id, f.facility_type_code, f.name, a.address, a.city, a.state_code, a.postal_code, a.country_code from mdx_core.facility as f join mdx_core.facility_address as fa on fa.facility_id = f.facility_id join mdx_core.address as a on a.address_id = fa.address_id where (a.country_code, a.state_code, mdx_core.zip_trunc(a.postal_code)) = ('US', 'IL', mdx_core.zip_trunc('60640-5759')) order by facility_id "Sort (cost=6474.78..6474.84 rows=25 width=103) (actual time=217.279..217.311 rows=65 loops=1)" " Sort Key: f.facility_id" " -> Nested Loop (cost=2728.54..6474.20 rows=25 width=103) (actual time=35.828..217.059 rows=65 loops=1)" " -> Hash Join (cost=2728.54..6384.81 rows=25 width=72) (actual time=35.801..216.117 rows=65 loops=1)" " Hash Cond: ("outer".address_id = "inner".address_id)" " -> Seq Scan on facility_address fa (cost=0.00..3014.68 rows=128268 width=12) (actual time=0.007..99.072 rows=128268 loops=1)" " -> Hash (cost=2728.50..2728.50 rows=19 width=64) (actual time=33.618..33.618 rows=39 loops=1)" " -> Bitmap Heap Scan on address a (cost=48.07..2728.50 rows=19 width=64) (actual time=2.569..33.491 rows=39 loops=1)" " Recheck Cond: ((country_code = 'US'::bpchar) AND ((state_code)::text = 'IL'::text))" " Filter: (mdx_core.zip_trunc(postal_code) = '60640'::text)" " -> Bitmap Index Scan on address_country_state_zip_trunc_idx (cost=0.00..48.07 rows=3846 width=0) (actual time=1.783..1.783 rows=3554 loops=1)" " Index Cond: ((country_code = 'US'::bpchar) AND ((state_code)::text = 'IL'::text))" " -> Index Scan using facility_pkey on facility f (cost=0.00..3.56 rows=1 width=35) (actual time=0.009..0.010 rows=1 loops=65)" " Index Cond: ("outer".facility_id = f.facility_id)" "Total runtime: 217.520 ms"
