Query much faster with enable_seqscan=0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I have received some help from the IRC channel, however, the problem still exists. When running the following query with enable_seqscan set to 0, it takes less than a second, whereas with it set to 1, the query returns in 14 seconds. The machine itself has 8GB Ram and is running PostgreSQL 9.0 on Debian Lenny. The database size is about 7GB.


Query:
SELECT tr.id, tr.sid FROM test_registration tr, INNER JOIN test_registration_result r on (tr.id = r.test_registration_id) WHERE. tr.test_administration_id='32a22b12-aa21-11df-a606-96551e8f4e4c'::uuid GROUP BY tr.id, tr.sid

The following parameters are changed in postgresql.conf and I have routinely vacuum analyzed the tables and database:

shared_buffers = 2048MB
work_mem = 8MB
maintenance_work_mem = 256MB 
wal_buffers = 640kB
random_page_cost = 4.0
effective_cache_size = 7000MB
default_statistics_target = 200


free -m:
total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8003 7849 153 0 25 7555 -/+ buffers/cache: 268 7735 Swap: 7640 0 7639


Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
