Hello,
you may want to try starting with some CTE that first retrieve required subsets.
adding ordering within those CTE might also improve the timing of following sort/join operations.
(sorry for the top posting)
Something like:
WITH T1 AS (
SELECT id, typeid, backup_id, mycolumn1, mycolumn2
FROM table1 WHERE t.external_id IN ('6544', '2234', '2', '4536')
ORDER BY mycolumn2, id ?
),
TYPES AS (SELECT DISTINCT typeid FROM T1),
T3_OTHERS AS ( SELECT id, otherid FROM table3 JOIN TYPES ON table3.id = TYPES.typeid
-- Order BY id ?
),
SELECT
T1.id,
T1.mycolumn1,
T3_OTHERS.otherid,
T3_2.otherid,
T1.mycolumn2 AS mycolumn2
FROM T1
LEFT OUTER JOIN T3_OTHERS ON T1.typeid = T3_OTHERS.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 t2 ON (t2.real_id = T1.backup_id OR t2.real_id = t.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN table3 T3_2 ON t2.third_id = T3_2.id
ORDER BY T1.mycolumn2,T1.id

Oh my, this is sad. the query in all returns 9,955,729 rows, so the sub
queries are run on each of these resulting rows, however in this entire
result set, subquery 1 returns 16 distinct rows, subquery 2 returns 63
different rows, but those sub queries are run over 10 million times to
return these few distinct rows. So it's running many times, but
returning the same small set of data over and over again.
