Performance cost of a sort-merge join

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

 



Hi, I have the given tables and query, but I'm confused why the cost
of the query is so high. I've left it running over night. By
comparison, a "select * from metarelcloud_transactionlog order by
transactionid" takes on the order of seconds/minutes (at least in
MySQL). As far as I can tell, the complex query below basically just
consists of two sorts (three if PG doesn't in fact reuse the leaf
sorts). Why the enormous estimated page IO count (cost) on the second
sort? There are roughly 30 tuples per transactionid, so the join
shouldn't produce a vastly exploded dataset. Thanks in advance.
