Re: Hash join on int takes 8..114 seconds

Just the most important points:

1) "dok" table contains 1235086 row versions in 171641 pages (with 8kB
pages this means 1.4GB MB of data), but there are 1834279 unused item
pointers (i.e. about 60% of the space is wasted)

2) "rid" table contains 3275189 roiws in 165282 (with 8kB pages this means
about 1.3GB of data), but there are 1878923 unused item pointers (i.e.
about 30% of the space is wasted)

3) don't forget to execute analyze after vacuuming (or vacuum analyze)

4) I'm not sure why the sizes reported by you (for example 2.3GB vs 1.5GB
for "doc" table) - the difference seems too large for me.

Anyway the amount of wasted rows seems significant to me - I'd try to
solve this first. Either by VACUUM FULL or by CLUSTER. The CLUSTER will
lock the table exclusively, but the results may be better (when sorting by
a well chosen index). Don't forget to run ANALYZE afterwards.

Several other things to consider:

1) Regarding the toode column - why are you using CHAR(20) when the values
are actually shorter? This may significantly increase the amount of space
required.

2) I've noticed the CPU used is Celeron, which may negatively affect the
speed of hash computation. I'd try to replace it by something faster - say
INTEGER as an artificial primary key of the "toode" table and using it as
a FK in other tables.  This might improve the "Bitmap Heap Scan on rid"
part, but yes - it's just a minor improvement compared to the "Hash Join"
part of the query.

Materialized views seem like a good idea to me, but maybe I'm not seeing
something. What do you mean by "reports are different"? If there is a lot
of rows for a given product / day, then creating an aggregated table with
(product code / day) as a primary key is quite simple. It may require a
lot of disk space, but it'll remove the hash join overhead. But if the
queries are very different, then it may be difficult to build such
materialized view(s).
