Hi. I have a performance problem with this simple query:
SELECT collect_time FROM n_traffic JOIN n_logins USING (login_id)
WHERE n_logins.account_id = '1655' ORDER BY collect_time LIMIT 1;
----------------------------------------
Limit (cost=0.00..2026.57 rows=1 width=8) (actual
time=5828.681..5828.681 rows=0 loops=1)
-> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..901822.69 rows=445 width=8) (actual
time=5828.660..5828.660 rows=0 loops=1)
-> Index Scan using n_traffic_collect_time_login_id on
n_traffic (cost=0.00..10280.58 rows=281608 width=12) (actual
time=0.026..1080.405 rows=281655 loops=1)
-> Index Scan using n_logins_pkey on n_logins
(cost=0.00..3.15 rows=1 width=4) (actual time=0.011..0.011 rows=0
loops=281655)
Index Cond: ("outer".login_id = n_logins.login_id)
Filter: (account_id = 1655)
Total runtime: 5828.963 ms
(7 rows)
This looks very argly... I done some hack and change the
JOIN n_logins USING (login_id) WHERE n_logins.account_id = '1655'
with the
WHERE (login_id = '1' OR login_id = '2'...)
in script which prepare this ...OR...OR... list and form this query.
But THIS IS DIRTY HACK! There must be gooder way... Please, help,
explain!
If there is only one login_id сorresponds to some account_id the query
goes fast:
=# explain analyze SELECT collect_time FROM n_traffic JOIN n_logins
USING (login_id) WHERE n_logins.account_id= '15' ORDER BY collect_time
LIMIT 1;
