hi list.
as soon as i left-join an additional table, the query takes 24sec
instead of 0.2sec, although the added fields have no impact on the
resultset:
--------------------
SELECT * FROM shop.dvds
LEFT JOIN oldtables.movies ON mov_id = dvd_mov_id
WHERE (lower(mov_name) LIKE '%superman re%' OR lower(dvd_name) like
'%superman re%' OR lower(dvd_edition) LIKE '%superman re%')
--------------------
Hash Left Join (cost=8402.16..10733.16 rows=39900 width=1276) (actual
time=260.712..260.722 rows=2 loops=1)
Hash Cond: (dvds.dvd_mov_id = movies.mov_id)
Filter: ((lower((movies.mov_name)::text) ~~ '%superman re%'::text) OR
(lower((dvds.dvd_edition)::text) ~~ '%superman re%'::text))
-> Seq Scan on dvds (cost=0.00..1292.00 rows=39900 width=1062)
(actual time=0.036..23.594 rows=20866 loops=1)
-> Hash (cost=8194.93..8194.93 rows=82893 width=214) (actual
time=168.121..168.121 rows=37417 loops=1)
-> Seq Scan on movies (cost=0.00..8194.93 rows=82893 width=214)
(actual time=0.024..131.401 rows=37417 loops=1)
Total runtime: 264.193 ms
2 rows fetched
--------------------
That's a pretty bad plan already, considering it does two seq-scans. I'm
pretty sure you can get that query to return in something close to 1ms.
Do you have indexes on any of dvds.dvd_mov_id, movies.mov_id,
lower(mov_name), lower(dvd_edition) or lower(dvd_name)?
I think that'd help.
If you already do have those indices, you may be running out of memory;
check for how much memory your postgres is set, the defaults are rather
modest.
now, an additional table (containing 600k records) is added through a
left join. all the sudden the query takes 24sec. although there are
indices on both dvds.dvd_ean and data_soundmedia.sm_info_ean, the planer
does not make use of the indices but rather chooses to do 2 seq-scans.
--------------------
SELECT * FROM shop.dvds
LEFT JOIN oldtables.movies ON mov_id = dvd_mov_id
LEFT JOIN shop.data_soundmedia ON sm_info_ean = dvd_ean
Make sure you have indexes on both sm_info_ean and dvd_ean.
