Querying database for table pk - better way?

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

 



I have a php application that needs to query the PK of a table - I'm
currently using this from the information_schema views:

SELECT column_name 
  FROM information_schema.table_constraints tc
 INNER JOIN information_schema.constraint_column_usage ccu
       ON tc.constraint_name = ccu.constraint_name 
   AND tc.constraint_schema = ccu.constraint_schema
 WHERE constraint_type = 'PRIMARY KEY'
   AND tc.table_name = '$table'
   AND tc.table_schema = '$schema'

This is an extremely slow query tho.

The top/bottom of my EXPLAIN ANALYZE (8.1.9):

Nested Loop  (cost=22.20..342.24 rows=1 width=64) (actual
time=68985.008..68988.784 rows=1 loops=1) 
   Join Filter: ("inner".oid = "outer".relnamespace) 
   ->  Nested Loop (cost=22.20..341.15 rows=1 width=68) (actual
time=68984.922..68988.694 rows=1 loops=1) 

<snip about 60 rows>

Total runtime: 68989.637 ms

I can put the full explain output on the web if it's useful.

Curious if there is a better/cheaper way to get the data I'm looking
for though?

Thanks,

Josh
