Re: Unused indexes - PostgreSQL 9.2

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

 




Sorry, I was too busy looking at the content.

Has the size / # rows changed recently? If the planner thinks it can load all the rows faster, it will use a seqscan  regardless if you have an index.

If that is the case, you can force index use by doing a

SET enable_seqscan = off  

before executing the query.

Hmm... ok... but the situation is:

1 - I dropped the index
2 - Found a very slow query
3 - The "WHERE" clause was using the index that I've just dropped
4 - I ran the query in my test environment (Same DB as prod) with explain analyze to see if the query was indeed using the index I've dropped
5 - Yes, the query was using the index
6 - re-created the index

7 - The total time went from 2000ms to 200ms

So, I don't think the index was indeed not being used.
I believe the stats are not working, just don't know how to confirm that, as I have nothing on my logs
