Yet another slow join query..

Hi All,

data_bank.updated_profiles and public.city_master are small tables
with 21790 and 49303 records repectively. both have indexes on the join
column. in first one on (city,source) and in second one on (city)

The query below does not return for long durations > 10 mins.

explain analyze  select b.state,a.city from data_bank.updated_profiles a join
public.city_master b using(city)  where source='BRANDING' and a.state is NULL
and b.country='India' ;


simple explain returns below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nested Loop  (cost=0.00..83506.31 rows=14 width=35)
  Join Filter: ("outer".city = ("inner".city)::text)
  ->  Seq Scan on updated_profiles a  (cost=0.00..1376.39 rows=89 width=11)
        Filter: ((source = 'BRANDING'::character varying) AND (state IS NULL))
  ->  Index Scan using city_master_temp1 on city_master b  (cost=0.00..854.87
rows=5603 width=24)
        Filter: (country = 'India'::character varying)
(6 rows)
