Re: Partitioning

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

 



Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I can write queries which get index scans, but they are still slow. 

Each index is about 2.5GB, I suspect I am trying to read a these into memory in entirety.

Perhaps there is no way to tune this?

Cheers, james

| 5.9.4. Partitioning and Constraint Exclusion

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/ddl-partitioning.html

Constraint exclusion is a mechanism to omit tables that are known
to have no hit by the query *beforehand* execution. So the
criteria cannot rely on out of the query itself (and CHECK
constraints, of course).

Your query uses the result of the WITH-clause-query in the WHERE
clause which is unknown to the planner so constraint exclusion
does not work. JOINs don't change the situation.

As the result, the query inevitably scans all the tables, but not
necessariry in sequqntial scans or simple index scans. The
suggestion above seeems showing the notation which the planner
can find the better plans on that premise.

For example, if you have an index on id of one of the two tables,
(and some other conditions match, of course) index only scan will
be selected for it and the suggested query will give you a
seemingly better plan than your query.
