Re: Explain plan changes - IN CLAUSE ( Passing direct values Vs INNER Query )

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply.This has optimized number of rows. 

Can you please explain, why it is getting more columns in output, even though we have asked for only one column ?

It is doing what you told it to do which is SELECT all
process_instance_i's for user_id='317079413683604' and app_id =
'427380312000560' and then filtering further. I am going to guess that
if you run the inner query alone you will find it returns ~23496 rows.
You might have better results if you an actual join between
process_activity and process_instance. Something like below(obviously
not tested):

What the OP seems to want is a semi-join:

(not tested)

SELECT pa.process_activity_id  
FROM process_activity pa WHERE pa.app_id = '427380312000560' AND pa.created > '1970-01-01 00:00:00'
AND EXISTS (
  SELECT 1 FROM process_instance pi WHERE pi.app_id = pa.app_id AND pi.user_id = '317079413683604'
)
ORDER BY 
pa.process_instance_id,
pa.created limit 50;

I'm unsure exactly how this will impact the plan choice but it should be an improvement, and in any case more correctly defines what it is you are looking for.
