Performance problem with 50,000,000 rows

I'm new to PG but this just seems wrong.  Can someone take a look:

  .-----------.     .-----------.
  | bk_inv    |     | bk_title  |
  |-----------|     |-----------|
  | isbn      |<--->| isbn      |
  | store     |     | vendor    |
  | qty       |     |           |
  | week      |     `-----------'
  |           |      2,000,000 recs
  `-----------'
   50,000,000 recs

  Actual record numbers:
    bk_inv  : 46,790,877
    bk_title:  2,311,710


VENDOR REPORT

  A list of Inventory items, for any one given vendor (e.q. 01672708)

select   i.isbn,
         t.vendor,
         i.store,
         i.qty
from     bk_inv i,
         bk_title t
where    i.isbn = t.isbn
and      t.vendor = '01672708' ;

This query should be instantaneous.  Granted that's 50 million rows, but
I have created an index on the isbn column for both tables.
After about 25 minutes (on 4 processor Del 6300 with 1GB Memory) it
spits out:

ERROR:  Write to hashjoin temp file failed

tiger=# explain select * from bk_inv i, bk_title t where i.isbn = t.isbn
and t.vendor  ='50000029';
NOTICE:  QUERY PLAN:

Merge Join  (cost=0.00..11229637.06 rows=2172466 width=72)
  ->  Index Scan using bk_title_isbn_idx on bk_title t
(cost=0.00..390788.08 rows=107331 width=24)
  ->  Index Scan using bk_inv_isbn_idx on bk_inv i
(cost=0.00..10252621.38 rows=46790877 width=48)

BIG COST!


These explain queries show the existance of the indexes and give small
costs:

tiger=# explain select * from bk_title where isbn = '50000029';
NOTICE:  QUERY PLAN:

Index Scan using bk_title_isbn_idx on bk_title  (cost=0.00..4.90 rows=1
width=24)

tiger=# explain select * from bk_inv where isbn = '0897474228';
NOTICE:  QUERY PLAN:

Index Scan using bk_inv_isbn_idx on bk_inv  (cost=0.00..225.53 rows=55
width=48)


Note.  Same tables, same query returns instantaneously with Oracle 8.1.
What I am hoping to show is that Postgres can do our job too.

Any help on this much obliged.  (Yes I ran vacuum analyze).

Just, reading it and I always enter these kind of queries like:

select   i.isbn,

from     bk_inv i,
         bk_title t
where
       t.vendor = '01672708' and

Don't know if it makes a difference but I can imagine that it could because
the t.vendor = '...' limits the possibilities in the first stage.

It might be worth putting and index on bk_title.vendor, then the scan of this
table will quickly find the appropriate rows( assuming vendor is
selective)... then the join to bk_inv can use the bk_inv.isbn index as
before, but hopefully with a smaller dataset....(so hopefully it might be
able to use a nested loop from bk_title -> bk_inv instead of a huge merge
join)

It also might be worth playing with sort_mem and shared_buffers (if you have
not done so already) - since you have a reasonable amount of memory.

good luck

Mark

Solution to the problem:

  I had run vaccum on the two tables in question (which happen to be the
only two tables user defined in the database)

  # vacuum analyze bk_inv;
  # vacuum analyze bk_title;

When I ran vacuum for all tables (including the system tables I suppose)

  # vacuum analyze;

I got the response time I exected. (Why this is perhaps someone can
explain).
Thanks for the feedbacks.
Regards, David

I have noticed this behaviour too. Is there some sort of guide to use in
order to get the query right? Or is this just part of SQL basics?

Hello,

I tried to search the mailing list archives but got only:

                              An error occured!

PQconnectPoll() -- connect() failed: Connection refused Is the postmaster running (with -i) at 'db.hub.org' and
acceptingconnections on TCP/IP port 5439? 


This doesn´t speak well about the backend we use ;-)).

Kind regards

        Andreas (hopefully not repeating someone else because I can´t search
                 the archive).
