Thanks for your valuable inputs !
The cost is "13.88" to fetch 1 row by scanning an Primary Key
indexed column.
Isn't the cost for fetching 1 row is too high ?
For what it's worth, it looks like you have the right query plan, there. Scan the primary key for one row. What's wrong with that? Our systems have tables far larger than yours, handling 300M queries per day that are far more expensive than a simple primary key index scan. You'll be fine. :)
Execution time is 0.025 ms per row. I am quite happy with the execution time, even the plan is going the correct way. The total execution time reduced from 2.5 hrs to 5.5 seconds. I am looking for a room for further improvement -- probably quite ambitious :-) ..
But, when i reduced random_page_cost to 2, the cost reduced to 7.03 and execution also have reduced by almost 50%. Is this an gain ?
Please comment !
Thanks,
VB
