Hi,

I am using int8 field to pack a number of error flags. This is very common technique for large tables to pack multiple flags in one integer field.

 

For most records – the mt_flags field is 0. Here is the statistics (taken from pgAdmin Statistics tab for mt_flags column):

Most common Values: {0,128,2,4,8)

Most common Frequencies: {0.96797,0.023,0.0076,0.0005,0.00029)

 

What I notice that when bit-AND function is used – Postgres significantly underestimates the amount of rows:

 

 

explain analyze select count(*) from mt__20090801 where  mt_flags&8=0;

                                                         QUERY PLAN                                                         

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Aggregate  (cost=83054.43..83054.44 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=2883.154..2883.154 rows=1 loops=1)

   ->  Seq Scan on mt__20090801  (cost=0.00..83023.93 rows=12200 width=0) (actual time=0.008..2100.390 rows=2439435 loops=1)

         Filter: ((mt_flags & 8) = 0)

 Total runtime: 2883.191 ms

(4 rows)

 

This is not an issue for the particular query above, but I noticed that due to that miscalculation in many cases Postgres chooses plan with Nested Loops for other queries. I can fix it by setting enable_nest_loops to off, but it's not something I should set for all queries.

Is there any way to help Postgres make a better estimation for number of rows returned by bit function?

Thanks,
