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;
I must add that is occurs when there is no rows in n_traffic for these login_id's. Where there is at least one (example, login_id='411' belongs to account_id='1655') query goes fast: =# INSERT INTO n_traffic VALUES ('411', '1', '2006-09-23 12:23:05', '0', '0'); =# explain analyze 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..2025.76 rows=1 width=8) (actual time=0.070..0.072 rows=1 loops=1) -> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..913617.15 rows=451 width=8) (actual time=0.065..0.065 rows=1 loops=1) -> Index Scan using n_traffic_collect_time_login_id on n_traffic (cost=0.00..10418.19 rows=285290 width=12) (actual time=0.026..0.026 rows=1 loops=1) -> Index Scan using n_logins_pkey on n_logins (cost=0.00..3.15 rows=1 width=4) (actual time=0.026..0.026 rows=1 loops=1) Index Cond: ("outer".login_id = n_logins.login_id) Filter: (account_id = 1655) Total runtime: 0.322 ms (7 rows) -- engineer
