Hi! Small query run on 9.0 very fast: SELECT * from sygma_arrear sar where sar.arrear_import_id = ( select sa.arrear_import_id from sygma_arrear sa, arrear_import ai where sa.arrear_flag_id = 2 AND sa.arrear_import_id = ai.id AND ai.import_type_id = 1 order by report_date desc limit 1) AND sar.arrear_flag_id = 2 AND sar.credit_id = 3102309 "Index Scan using sygma_arrear_credit_id on sygma_arrear sar (cost=0.66..362.03 rows=1 width=265)" " Index Cond: (credit_id = 3102309)" " Filter: ((arrear_import_id = $0) AND (arrear_flag_id = 2))" " InitPlan 1 (returns $0)" " -> Limit (cost=0.00..0.66 rows=1 width=8)" " -> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..3270923.14 rows=4930923 width=8)" " -> Index Scan Backward using report_date_bank_id_key on arrear_import ai (cost=0.00..936.87 rows=444 width=8)" " Filter: (import_type_id = 1)" *" -> Index Scan using sygma_arrear_arrear_import_id_idx on sygma_arrear sa (cost=0.00..6971.15 rows=31495 width=4)"** **" Index Cond: (sa.arrear_import_id = ai.id)"** **" Filter: (sa.arrear_flag_id = 2)"** * Engine uses index - great. On 9.2 "Index Scan using sygma_arrear_credit_id on sygma_arrear sar (cost=11.05..381.12 rows=1 width=265)" " Index Cond: (credit_id = 3102309)" " Filter: ((arrear_import_id = $0) AND (arrear_flag_id = 2))" " InitPlan 1 (returns $0)" " -> Limit (cost=0.00..11.05 rows=1 width=8)" " -> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..54731485.84 rows=4953899 width=8)" " Join Filter: (sa.arrear_import_id = ai.id)" " -> Index Scan Backward using report_date_bank_id_key on arrear_import ai (cost=0.00..62.81 rows=469 width=8)" " Filter: (import_type_id = 1)" *" -> Materialize (cost=0.00..447641.42 rows=6126357 width=4)"** **" -> Seq Scan on sygma_arrear sa (cost=0.00..393077.64 rows=6126357 width=4)"** **" Filter: (arrear_flag_id = 2)"** * Seq scan... slooow. Why that's happens? All configurations are identical. Only engine is different. When I make index on to column: (arrear_import_id,arrear_flag_id) then engine use it and run fast. -- Andrzej Zawadzki -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
