Ответ на Planner doing seqscan before indexed join  (Dan Harris <fbsd@drivefaster.net>)
Список pgsql-performance
You may try to change the planner's opinion using sub queries. Something
like:


select * from

   eventactivity,

   (select * from
      keyword_incidents,
      eventmain,
      eventgeo
    where
      eventmain.incidentid = keyword_incidents.incidentid
      and eventgeo.incidentid = keyword_incidents.incidentid
      and (  recordtext like '%JOSE CHAVEZ%'   )
   )foo

 where eventactivity.incidentid = foo.incidentid
 order by foo.entrydate limit 10000;


HTH,

Marc

Subject: [PERFORM] Planner doing seqscan before indexed join

8.0.3 - Linux 2.6.18..
Freshly vacuumed and analyzed

This database has been humming along fine for a while now, but I've got
one of those sticky queries that is taking much too long to finish.

After some digging, I've found that the planner is choosing to apply a
necessary seq scan to the table.  Unfortunately, it's scanning the whole
table, when it seems that it could have joined it to a smaller table
first and reduce the amount of rows it would have to scan dramatically (
70 million to about 5,000 ).

The table "eventactivity" has about 70million rows in it, index on
"incidentid"
The table "keyword_incidents" is a temporary table and has incidentid as
its primary key.  It contains
5125 rows. eventmain and eventgeo both have 2.1 million. My hope is that
I can convince the planner to do the
  join to keyword_incidents *first* and then do the seq scan for the
LIKE condition.  Instead, it seems that it's seqscanning the whole 70
million rows first and then doing the join, which takes a lot longer
than I'd like to wait for it.  Or, maybe I'm misreading the explain
output?

Thanks again

Here's the query:

explain analyze

   keyword_incidents,

   eventactivity,

   eventmain,

   eventgeo

  where

   eventmain.incidentid = keyword_incidents.incidentid and

   eventgeo.incidentid = keyword_incidents.incidentid and

   eventactivity.incidentid = keyword_incidents.incidentid

   and (  recordtext like '%JOSE CHAVEZ%'   )
order by eventmain.entrydate limit 10000;
