Performance problems with postgres and null Values?

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

 



After remodeling a table we have some performance problems.

 

The Original tables have much more fields and we thought it came from these many fields. After some testing I tried these test layout and the performance problem is not solved.

 

Postgresql 9.3.12

 

Former DB-Layout was table _masterOld_ with 2 tables inherits from _masterOld_: _part1Old_ and _part2Old_. In _masterOld_ were 7 million rows (_part1Old_: 5 millions, _part2Old_: 2 millions).

 

Now we have only one new table _masterNew_ with 7 million rows.

 

DDL: 

export:

 

    CREATE TABLE public.export (

      id_firma BIGINT,

      status VARCHAR(32)

    )

    WITH (oids = false);

 

    CREATE INDEX export_idx ON public.export

      USING btree (id_firma);

 

masterNew:

  

    CREATE TABLE public."masterNew" (

    id_firma BIGINT,

    id_bestand BIGINT NOT NULL,

    status VARCHAR(32),

    sperre VARCHAR(32),

    CONSTRAINT "masterNew_2016_pkey" PRIMARY KEY(id_bestand)

    )

    WITH (oids = false);

 

    CREATE INDEX "masterNew_2016_pi_idx" ON public."masterNew"

    USING btree (id_firma)

    WHERE ((status IS NULL) AND (sperre IS NULL));

 

    CREATE INDEX "masterNew_sperre_2016" ON public."masterNew"

    USING btree (sperre COLLATE pg_catalog."default");

 

    CREATE INDEX "masterNew_status_2016" ON public."masterNew"

    USING btree (status COLLATE pg_catalog."default");

 

masterOld:

 

    CREATE TABLE public."masterOld" (

      id_firma BIGINT,

      id_bestand BIGINT NOT NULL,

      status VARCHAR(32),

      sperre VARCHAR(32),

      CONSTRAINT "masterOld_pkey" PRIMARY KEY(id_bestand)

    )

    WITH (oids = false);

 

    CREATE INDEX "masterOld_idx" ON public."masterOld"

      USING btree (id_firma);

 

    CREATE INDEX "masterOld_sperre" ON public."masterOld"

      USING btree (sperre COLLATE pg_catalog."default");

 

    CREATE INDEX "masterOld_status" ON public."masterOld"

      USING btree (status COLLATE pg_catalog."default");

 

part1Old:

 

    CREATE TABLE public."part1Old" (

      CONSTRAINT "part1Old_idx" PRIMARY KEY(id_bestand)

    ) INHERITS (public."masterOld")

 

    WITH (oids = false);

 

    CREATE INDEX "part1Old_idx1" ON public."part1Old"

      USING btree (id_firma);

 

    CREATE INDEX "part1Old_idx2" ON public."part1Old"

      USING btree (status COLLATE pg_catalog."default");

 

    CREATE INDEX "part1Old_idx3" ON public."part1Old"

      USING btree (sperre COLLATE pg_catalog."default");

 

part2Old:

 

    CREATE TABLE public."part2Old" (

      CONSTRAINT "part2Old_idx" PRIMARY KEY(id_bestand)

    ) INHERITS (public."masterOld")

 

    WITH (oids = false);

 

    CREATE INDEX "part2Old_idx1" ON public."part2Old"

      USING btree (id_firma);

 

    CREATE INDEX "part2Old_idx2" ON public."part2Old"

      USING btree (status COLLATE pg_catalog."default");

 

    CREATE INDEX "part2Old_idx3" ON public."part2Old"

      USING btree (sperre COLLATE pg_catalog."default");

 

In the _export_ table are 1.2 million rows.

 

Old:

 

    EXPLAIN

    SELECT b.id, b.status

    FROM export b, masterOld mb

    WHERE mb.sperre IS NULL

      AND mb.status IS NULL

      AND b.id_firma = mb.id_firma

    LIMIT 100;

There were no speed problems.

There we have our problem.

We have tried to fix it using a partial Index on _id_ with `status is null and sperre is null` .

If we don't use `sperre is null` in this query it is quick. I think we have these problems because _sperre_ and _status_ have much null values. _status_: 67% null and _sperre_: 97% null .

On each table there are btree indexes on _id_, _sperre_ and _status_.

On _masterNew_ there is a partial Index on _id_ with `sperre is null and status is null`.

 

Can somebody help me with these performance Problem.

What can I try to solve this?
