Hello list,

I am working on a Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) database using PostgreSQL 8.4.7. The basic problem is that when joining multiple times different entities the planner thinks that there is vastly less rows to join than there is in reality and decides to use multiple nested loops for the join chain. This results in queries where when nested loops are enabled, query time is somewhere around 35 seconds, but with nested loops disabled, the performance is somewhere around 100ms. I don't think there is much hope for getting better statistics, as EAV is just not statistics friendly. The values of an attribute depend on the type of the attribute, and different entities have different attributes defined. The planner has no idea of these correlations.

Hello.

If your queries work on single attribute, you can try adding partial indexes for different attributes. Note that in this case parameterized statements may prevent index usage, so check also with attribute id inlined.

Best regards, Vitalii Tymchyshyn
