Parallel Query - Can it be used within functions?

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

 



Dear community,

I need a bit of advice on parallel query execution.
I have a table with roughly 2 million rows in it. These rows are distributed over a set of IDs. Therefore I can group my rows based on the ID set.

If I query the table directly like this:

select mediatrunkid,count(*)::numeric from reports.mediatrunkkpi where mediatrunkid in (2129932,2101261,2125841,409613,409612,2142220,2101260,2129933,2125839,2138124,2117644,2125836,2187276,2154508,2101263,2109452,2134028) group by 1;
 mediatrunkid | count
--------------+-------
       409612 | 11862
       409613 | 11862
      2101260 | 11860
      2101261 | 11882
      2101263 | 11809
      2109452 | 11751
      2117644 | 11833
      2125836 | 11832
      2125839 | 11852
      2125841 | 11882
      2129932 | 11882
      2129933 | 11854
      2134028 | 11718
      2138124 | 11850
      2142220 | 11861
      2154508 | 11825
      2187276 | 11826
(17 rows)

Time: 44,056 ms

I see from the query plan that it executed nicely in parallel using two workers:

But when I do the very same within a function:

create or replace function reports.generic_query(_sql text)
  RETURNS SETOF record
  LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'
  PARALLEL SAFE
  COST 100
  SET "TimeZone"='utc'
  STABLE
  ROWS 10000
AS $BODY$
DECLARE
  --
BEGIN
  RETURN QUERY EXECUTE _sql;
END
$BODY$;

select * from reports.generic_query($$ select mediatrunkid,count(*)::numeric from reports.mediatrunkkpi where mediatrunkid in (2129932,2101261,2125841,409613,409612,2142220,2101260,2129933,2125839,2138124,2117644,2125836,2187276,2154508,2101263,2109452,2134028) group by 1 $$) as foo (trunkid bigint, count numeric);

the execution time almost doubles, and the query no longer is considered for parallel execution:

This whole topic around parallel execution is fairly new, but from the documentation I would assume that functions declared as parallel safe, will really be used in parallel. And even if the function itself is not invoked in parallel (maybe does not even make sense here), the function body for sure should run in parallel if I'm not mistaken.

So what do I obviously do wrong here?

Michael
