When I run vacuum analyze it fixes the problem but after 1 or 2 days the problem comes back

 

Here is the table structure

 

      Column      |            Type             |                              Modifiers                               | Storage | Stats target | Description

------------------+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+---------+--------------+-------------

response_id      | integer                     | not null default nextval('btdt_responses_response_id_seq'::regclass) | plain   |              |

registration_id  | bigint                      | not null                                                             | plain   |              |

btdt_id          | integer                     | not null                                                             | plain   |              |

response         | integer                     | not null                                                             | plain   |              |

creation_date    | timestamp without time zone | not null default now()                                               | plain   |              |

last_update_date | timestamp without time zone | not null default now()                                               | plain   |              |

Indexes:

    "btdt_responses_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (response_id)

    "btdt_responses_u2" UNIQUE, btree (registration_id, btdt_id)

    "btdt_responses_n1" btree (btdt_id)

    "btdt_responses_n2" btree (btdt_id, response)

    "btdt_responses_n4" btree (creation_date)

    "btdt_responses_n5" btree (last_update_date)

    "btdt_responses_n6" btree (btdt_id, last_update_date)

Foreign-key constraints:

    "btdt_responses_btdt_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (btdt_id) REFERENCES btdt_items(btdt_id)

    "btdt_responses_fk1" FOREIGN KEY (btdt_id) REFERENCES btdt_items(btdt_id)

Has OIDs: no

Options: autovacuum_enabled=true, autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor=0.02, autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor=0.02

 

Thanks

Postgresql 9.3 Version

 

Guys

          Here  is the issue that I’m facing for couple of weeks now. I have table (size  7GB)

 

If I run this query with this specific registration id it is using the wrong execution plan and takes more than a minute to complete. Total number of rows for this registration_id is only 414 in this table

 

explain analyze SELECT max(last_update_date) AS last_update_date FROM btdt_responses WHERE registration_id = 8718704208 AND response != 4;

                                                                                QUERY PLAN

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Result  (cost=2902.98..2903.01 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=86910.730..86910.731 rows=1 loops=1)

   InitPlan 1 (returns $0)

     ->  Limit  (cost=0.57..2902.98 rows=1 width=8) (actual time=86910.725..86910.725 rows=1 loops=1)

           ->  Index Scan Backward using btdt_responses_n5 on btdt_responses  (cost=0.57..6425932.41 rows=2214 width=8) (actual time=86910.723..86910.723 rows=1 loops=1)

                 Index Cond: (last_update_date IS NOT NULL)

                 Filter: ((response <> 4) AND (registration_id = 8718704208::bigint))

                 Rows Removed by Filter: 52145434

Total runtime: 86910.766 ms

 

 

Same query with any other registration id will come back in milli seconds

 

 

 

explain analyze SELECT max(last_update_date) AS last_update_date FROM btdt_responses WHERE registration_id = 8688546267 AND response != 4;

                                                                  QUERY PLAN

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aggregate  (cost=529.75..529.78 rows=1 width=8) (actual time=19.723..19.723 rows=1 loops=1)

   ->  Index Scan using btdt_responses_u2 on btdt_responses  (cost=0.57..529.45 rows=119 width=8) (actual time=0.097..19.689 rows=72 loops=1)

         Index Cond: (registration_id = 8688546267::bigint)

         Filter: (response <> 4)

         Rows Removed by Filter: 22

Total runtime: 19.769 ms

 

 

Please let me know what I can do to fix this issue.

 

 

Thanks

 

 

Not enough info.

Table structure? Is registration_id – PK?  If not, what is the distribution of the values for this table?

When was it analyzed last time?  M.b. you need to increase statistics target for this table:

 

Index Scan Backward using btdt_responses_n5 on btdt_responses  (cost=0.57..6425932.41 rows=2214 width=8) (actual time=86910.723..86910.723 rows=1 loops=1)

 

It expects 2214 records while really getting only 1.

Do you have autovacuum running?

If yes, maybe it’s not aggressive enough and you need to adjust its parameters.
