Hi Simon,
may you explain why REINDEX may help here?.. - database was just
created, data loaded, and then indexes were created + analyzed.. What
may change here after REINDEX?..
With hashjoin disabled was a good try!
Running this query "as it" from 1.50ms we move to 0.84ms now,
and the plan is here:
QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sort (cost=4562.83..4568.66 rows=2329 width=176) (actual
time=0.225..0.229 rows=20 loops=1)
Sort Key: h.horder
Sort Method: quicksort Memory: 30kB
-> Merge Join (cost=4345.89..4432.58 rows=2329 width=176) (actual
time=0.056..0.205 rows=20 loops=1)
Merge Cond: (s.ref = h.ref_stat)
-> Index Scan using stat_ref_idx on stat s
(cost=0.00..49.25 rows=1000 width=45) (actual time=0.012..0.079
rows=193 loops=1)
-> Sort (cost=4345.89..4351.72 rows=2329 width=135) (actual
time=0.041..0.043 rows=20 loops=1)
Sort Key: h.ref_stat
Sort Method: quicksort Memory: 30kB
-> Index Scan using history_ref_idx on history h
(cost=0.00..4215.64 rows=2329 width=135) (actual time=0.013..0.024
rows=20 loops=1)
Index Cond: (ref_object = '0000000001'::bpchar)
Total runtime: 0.261 ms
(12 rows)
Curiously planner expect to run it in 0.26ms
Any idea why planner is not choosing this plan from the beginning?..
Any way to keep this plan without having a global or per sessions
hashjoin disabled?..
Rgds,
