This is a completely different query from my one. (That is, the results are different.)
My problem is that I have a schema like
fastgraph=# \d object
Table "public.object"
Column | Type | Modifiers
- --------+--------+----------------------------------------------
id | bigint | not null default nextval('id_seq'::regclass)
Indexes:
"object_id_idx" UNIQUE, btree (id)
fastgraph=# \d link
Table "public.link"
Column | Type | Modifiers
- -----------+------------------+----------------------------------------------
id | bigint | not null default nextval('id_seq'::regclass)
s | bigint | not null
e | bigint | not null
intensity | double precision | not null
Indexes:
"link_id_idx" UNIQUE, btree (id)
"link_e_idx" btree (e)
"link_s_idx" btree (s)
"link_se_idx" btree (s, e)
Inherits: object
fastgraph=# \d representation
Table "public.representation"
Column | Type | Modifiers
- --------+--------+----------------------------------------------
id | bigint | not null default nextval('id_seq'::regclass)
o | bigint | not null
format | bigint | not null
data | bytea | not null
Indexes:
"representation_id_idx" UNIQUE, btree (id)
"representation_o_idx" btree (o)
"representation_text" hash (data) WHERE format = 1
Inherits: object
now I want those "objects" (with inheritance) which are connected to some other. So I tried the
query in the original post, and found the execution plan to be suboptimal. Today I tried to do it with OUTER JOINs
but failed utterly. So what is the best way to get the results? The original query is exactly what I need, only the plan
is bad. Any Ideas?
