Title: Very poor performance

This is weird – is there a particular combination of memberid/answered in answerselectindex that has a very high rowcount?

 

First change I would suggest looking into would be to try changing sub-query logic to check existence and limit the result set of the sub-query to a single row

 

Select distinct(m.id)

From member m

Where exists (

      Select 1

      From answerselectinstance a

      Where a.member_id = m.id

      And a.answerid between 127443 and 127448

      Limit 1

)

 

 

If member.id is a primary key, you can eliminate the “distinct” i.e. the sort.

 

 

Second would be to build a partial index on answersselectindex to index only the memberid’s you are interested in:

 

“Create index <new_index_name> on answersselectindex(memberid) where answerid between 127443 and 127448”

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can offer some help here. The query and explain analyze and table layout are below and attached in a text file if the formatting is bad.

The query is part of a bigger query that our front end runs. This is the part that takes forever (84 minutes in this case) to finish and more often than not the front end times out. The table (answerselectinstance) has 168664317 rows while the member table has 626435 rows.

Postgres Version 8.25
CentOs 5.2
16 Gig RAM
192MB work_mem  (increasing to 400MB didn't change the outcome)
very light use on this server, it ais a slave to a slony replicated master/slave setup.

Again, apologies if the formatting got munged, the attached text file has the same info.

Thanking you in advance for any help and suggestions.

Aaron
