So I did an explain and I see it is doing a seq scan in the last sub plan -
there are about 375,000 rows
in myevent - why isn't it using the index instead of doing a seq scan?
create unique index indx1myevents on myevents (event_log_no)
CREATE INDEX
Are there NULLs in this subtable? NOT IN must check the entire table
for NULLs. Try changing the query to use NOT EXISTS.
Have a nice day,
Hi Martijn,
I guess I misunderstand what you are saying because this is what I get now:
srm2=# explain insert into myevents select * from t_unit_event_log a where exists
srm2-# (select b.event_log_no from myevents b
srm2(# where a.event_status = 1 and a.event_ref_log_no IS NOT NULL
srm2(# and a.event_ref_log_no = b.event_log_no and a.event_log_no not exists
srm2(# (select event_log_no from myevents)
srm2(# );
ERROR: syntax error at or near "exists"
LINE 4: ...nt_ref_log_no = b.event_log_no and a.event_log_no not exists
Regards,
Steve
