Re: performance tuning in large function / transaction

Dear stephan,
 I found that the long execution time was due to
following statement which will execute many times in a
loop:
      select count(*)       from   ACL, APPLICATION app      where  ACL_APP            = app.app_id      and
APP_INSTALLED     = 'Y'      and    ACL_LEVEL          > 0      and    ACL_GALLERY_ID     = 1      and
app.APP_GALLERY_ID= 1      and    substr(app.app_order,1, 6 ) = '021101'      and    app.app_order      <> '021101'
and    ACL_GRP in             (select u.ug_id              from   user_group u, user_group_master
 
ug              where  u.ug_user_id = 5170              and    ug.ug_id     = u.ug_id              and   (ug.deleted
='N' or ug.deleted
 
IS NULL)              and    u.gallery_id = 1              and    ug.gallery_id = 1 );


I had explain it and got the result :
Aggregate  (cost=4836.61..4836.61 rows=1 width=24) ->  Nested Loop  (cost=0.00..4836.61 rows=2
width=24)       ->  Index Scan using
application_app_gallery_id on application app 
(cost=0.00..3.05 rows=1 width=12)       ->  Index Scan using acl_acl_gallery_id on acl(cost=0.00..4830.80 rows=220
width=12)            SubPlan               ->  Materialize  (cost=6.10..6.10
 
rows=1 width=24)                     ->  Nested Loop 
(cost=0.00..6.10 rows=1 width=24)                           ->  Index Scan using
user_group_ug_user_id on user_group u 
(cost=0.00..2.02 rows=1 width=12)                           ->  Index Scan using
user_group_master_gallery_id on user_group_master ug 
(cost=0.00..4.07 rows=1 width=12)


after rewrote it to :      select count(*)       from   ACL a, APPLICATION app      where  ACL_APP            =
app.app_id     and    APP_INSTALLED      = 'Y'      and    ACL_LEVEL          > 0      and    ACL_GALLERY_ID     = 1
 and    app.APP_GALLERY_ID = 1      and    substr(app.app_order,1, 6 ) = '021101'      and    app.app_order      <>
'021101'     and    exists             (select u.ug_id              from   user_group u, user_group_master
 
ug              where  a.ACL_GRP = u.ug_id              and    u.ug_user_id = 5170              and    ug.ug_id     =
u.ug_id             and   (ug.deleted   = 'N' or ug.deleted
 
IS NULL)              and    u.gallery_id = 1              and    ug.gallery_id = 1 );


the explain was :
Aggregate  (cost=4836.69..4836.69 rows=1 width=24) ->  Nested Loop  (cost=0.00..4836.69 rows=2
width=24)       ->  Index Scan using
application_app_gallery_id on application app 
(cost=0.00..3.05 rows=1 width=12)       ->  Index Scan using acl_acl_gallery_id on acl
a  (cost=0.00..4830.89 rows=220 width=12)             SubPlan               ->  Nested Loop  (cost=0.00..6.10
rows=1 width=24)                     ->  Index Scan using
user_group_ug_id on user_group u  (cost=0.00..2.02
rows=1 width=12)                     ->  Index Scan using
user_group_master_gallery_id on user_group_master ug 
(cost=0.00..4.07 rows=1 width=12)


the performance seems no improvement. 

the table ACL contains 106057 rows and index on
acl_gallery_id, acl_grp and acl_level . 

the table APPLICATION contains 220 rows and index on
app_gallery_id and app_order .

-- Table: acl
CREATE TABLE "acl" ( "acl_id" numeric(10, 0) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,  "acl_app" numeric(10, 0),  "acl_grp" numeric(10, 0),

"acl_grp"),  CONSTRAINT "acl_pkey" PRIMARY KEY ("acl_id"),  CONSTRAINT "acl_fk9992931283980" FOREIGN KEY
(acl_app) REFERENCES "application" (app_id) ON DELETE

IMMEDIATE,  CONSTRAINT "acl_ug" FOREIGN KEY (acl_grp) REFERENCES
"user_group_master" (ug_id) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON
UPDATE NO ACTION NOT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE
);

-- Table: application
CREATE TABLE "application" ( "app_id" numeric(11, 0) NOT NULL,  "app_en_name" varchar(100) NOT NULL,  "app_tc_name"
