Thank you Pavel.

 

The cost of unpacking hstore comparing to non-hstore could be calculated by:

Seq scan on hstore table + hash join with seg1 table:

Hstore: 416.741+ 34619.879 =~34 seconds

Non-hstore: 8858.594 +26477.652 =~ 34 seconds

 

The subsequent hash-aggregate and sort operation should be working on the unpacked hstore rows which has same row counts as non-hstore table. however, timing on those operations actually makes the big difference.

 

I don’t quite get why…

 

Thanks,

Suya

Hi

In this use case hstore should not help .. there is relative high overhead related with unpacking hstore -- so classic schema is better.

Hstore should not to replace well normalized schema - it should be a replace for some semi normalized structures as EAV.

Hstore can have some profit from TOAST .. comprimation, less system data overhead, but this advantage started from some length of data. You should to see this benefit on table size. When table with HStore is less than without, then there is benefit of Hstore. Last benefit of Hstore are indexes over tuple (key, value) .. but you don't use it.

Regards

Pavel

Hi ,

 

I’m tweaking table layout to get better performance of query. One table doesn’t use hstore but expand all metrics of cha_type to different rows. The other table has hstore for metrics column as cha_type->metrics so it has less records than the first one.

 

I would be expecting the query on seconds table has better performance than the first one. However, it’s not the case at all. I’m wondering if there’s something wrong with my execution plan? With the hstore table, the optimizer has totally wrong estimation on row counts at hash aggregate stage and it takes 34 seconds on hash-join,25 seconds on hash-aggregate, 10 seconds on sort. However, with non-hstore table, it takes 17 seconds on hash join, 18 seconds on hashaggregate and 2 seconds on sort.

 

Can someone help me to explain why this is happening? And is there a way to fine-tune the query?
