I am trying to move a small system from Oracle to PostgreSQL and I have come upon a sql that runs really slow compared to on the Oracle database and I am not able to interpret why this is slow. The SQL looks like this: Select a.status, a.plass, a.navn, a.avlsnr, date_part('day',(now() - s.dato)) dato_diff, v.tekst, COALESCE(a.avlsverdi,0) >From sed_uttak s, sem_avlsverdi a, semin_vare v where a.aktiv = 1 And s.dato = (Select Max(y.dato) From sed_uttak y Where y.avlsnr = s.avlsnr) And a.avlsnr = s.avlsnr And s.sedtype = v.tallkode And a.avlsnr Not In (Select avlsnr From dyr_pause_mot) Union Select a.status, a.plass, a.navn, a.avlsnr, date_part('day',(now() - s.dato)) dato_diff, 'Tappe pause', COALESCE(a.avlsverdi,0) >From sed_uttak s, sem_avlsverdi a, dyr_pause_mot p Where s.dato = (Select Max(x.dato) From sed_uttak x Where x.avlsnr = s.avlsnr) And a.avlsnr = s.avlsnr And a.avlsnr = p.avlsnr Union Select a.status, a.plass, a.navn, a.avlsnr, null dato_diff, 'IKKE TAPPET', COALESCE(a.avlsverdi,0) >From sem_avlsverdi a Where a.aktiv = 1 And a.avlsnr Not In (Select avlsnr From sed_uttak) And a.avlsnr Not In (Select avlsnr From dyr_pause_mot) And the explain result looks like this: HashAggregate (cost=7288068.92..7288092.10 rows=2318 width=36) (actual time=10740.366..10741.879 rows=6475 loops=1) Group Key: a.status, a.plass, a.navn, a.avlsnr, (date_part('day'::text, (now() - (s.dato)::timestamp with time zone))), v.tekst, (COALESCE((a.avlsverdi)::integer, 0)) -> Append (cost=1.46..7288028.35 rows=2318 width=36) (actual time=0.203..10730.906 rows=8915 loops=1) -> Nested Loop (cost=1.46..7274678.41 rows=698 width=82) (actual time=0.203..10638.870 rows=8602 loops=1) Join Filter: (s.sedtype = v.tallkode) Rows Removed by Join Filter: 127006 -> Nested Loop (cost=1.46..7274438.07 rows=698 width=26) (actual time=0.189..10607.509 rows=6164 loops=1) -> Seq Scan on sem_avlsverdi a (cost=1.04..153.19 rows=3238 width=16) (actual time=0.024..4.027 rows=6474 loops=1) Filter: ((NOT (hashed SubPlan 5)) AND (aktiv = 1)) Rows Removed by Filter: 3 SubPlan 5 -> Seq Scan on dyr_pause_mot dyr_pause_mot_1 (cost=0.00..1.03 rows=3 width=4) (actual time=0.002..0.003 rows=3 loops=1) -> Index Scan using idx_seduttak_avlsnr on sed_uttak s (cost=0.42..2246.53 rows=1 width=14) (actual time=1.404..1.637 rows=1 loops=6474) Index Cond: (avlsnr = a.avlsnr) Filter: (dato = (SubPlan 4)) Rows Removed by Filter: 42 SubPlan 4 -> Aggregate (cost=43.09..43.10 rows=1 width=8) (actual time=0.037..0.037 rows=1 loops=279035) -> Index Scan using idx_seduttak_avlsnr on sed_uttak y (cost=0.42..42.96 rows=52 width=8) (actual time=0.003..0.029 rows=76 loops=279035) Index Cond: (avlsnr = s.avlsnr) -> Materialize (cost=0.00..1.33 rows=22 width=60) (actual time=0.000..0.001 rows=22 loops=6164) -> Seq Scan on semin_vare v (cost=0.00..1.22 rows=22 width=60) (actual time=0.002..0.005 rows=22 loops=1) -> Nested Loop (cost=0.70..6761.33 rows=1 width=24) (actual time=0.342..1.801 rows=3 loops=1) -> Nested Loop (cost=0.28..25.96 rows=3 width=20) (actual time=0.008..0.015 rows=3 loops=1) -> Seq Scan on dyr_pause_mot p (cost=0.00..1.03 rows=3 width=4) (actual time=0.002..0.002 rows=3 loops=1) -> Index Scan using idx_avlsverdi_avlsnr on sem_avlsverdi a_1 (cost=0.28..8.30 rows=1 width=16) (actual time=0.003..0.003 rows=1 loops=3) Index Cond: (avlsnr = p.avlsnr) -> Index Scan using idx_seduttak_avlsnr on sed_uttak s_1 (cost=0.42..2245.11 rows=1 width=12) (actual time=0.377..0.589 rows=1 loops=3) Index Cond: (avlsnr = a_1.avlsnr) Filter: (dato = (SubPlan 3)) Rows Removed by Filter: 27 SubPlan 3 -> Aggregate (cost=43.09..43.10 rows=1 width=8) (actual time=0.020..0.020 rows=1 loops=85) -> Index Scan using idx_seduttak_avlsnr on sed_uttak x (cost=0.42..42.96 rows=52 width=8) (actual time=0.002..0.015 rows=37 loops=85) Index Cond: (avlsnr = s_1.avlsnr) -> Seq Scan on sem_avlsverdi a_2 (cost=6393.04..6565.43 rows=1619 width=16) (actual time=87.448..89.059 rows=310 loops=1) Filter: ((NOT (hashed SubPlan 1)) AND (NOT (hashed SubPlan 2)) AND (aktiv = 1)) Rows Removed by Filter: 6167 SubPlan 1 -> Seq Scan on sed_uttak (cost=0.00..5694.20 rows=279120 width=4) (actual time=0.005..36.384 rows=279120 loops=1) SubPlan 2 -> Seq Scan on dyr_pause_mot (cost=0.00..1.03 rows=3 width=4) (actual time=0.002..0.003 rows=3 loops=1) Planning time: 0.927 ms Execution time: 10742.300ms Appreciate any pointers on where to look... :) Regards, BTJ -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bjørn T Johansen btj@xxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Someone wrote: "I understand that if you play a Windows CD backwards you hear strange Satanic messages" To which someone replied: "It's even worse than that; play it forwards and it installs Windows" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
