What can I do about this plan?



HashAggregate  (cost=8035443.21..8035445.17 rows=157 width=24)
  ->  Nested Loop  (cost=37680.95..7890528.72 rows=28982898 width=24) <<<<< suspect
        Join Filter: ((a.test_run_start_date_time >= date.start_time) AND (a.test_run_start_date_time <=
date.end_time))
        ->  Bitmap Heap Scan on d_trh_pbert a  (cost=37677.22..1369372.99 rows=1661440 width=24)
              Recheck Cond: ((test_run_start_date_time >= '2009-05-08 07:00:00'::timestamp without time zone) AND
(test_run_start_date_time<= '2009-05-15 06:59:59'::timestamp without time zone)) 
              ->  Bitmap Index Scan on idx_d_trh_pbert_sdate  (cost=0.00..37261.86 rows=1661440 width=0)
                    Index Cond: ((test_run_start_date_time >= '2009-05-08 07:00:00'::timestamp without time zone) AND
(test_run_start_date_time<= '2009-05-15 06:59:59'::timestamp without time zone)) 
        ->  Materialize  (cost=3.73..5.30 rows=157 width=24)
              ->  Seq Scan on lookup_ww_date2 date  (cost=0.00..3.57 rows=157 width=24)


The query
select week_id,count(serial_number)
from d_trh a
inner join lookup_ww_date2 date
on ( a.test_run_start_date_time between start_time and end_time)
where a.test_run_start_date_time between '5/8/2009 7:00:00 AM' and '5/15/2009 6:59:59 AM'
group by
week_id

the lookup_ww_date looks like this

( week_id bigint
  start_time timestamp
  end_time timestamp
)

eg: 200949|5/8/2009 7:00:00am|5/15/2009 6:59:59AM

The whole aim of this exercise is to look at which WW the particular date falls into.

WW49 is basically between 5/8 and 5/15, unfortunately, it's not actually
just the base dates, it's also the time.

eg: 200949|5/8/2009 7:00:00am|5/15/2009 6:59:59AM

The definition of  WW or a "day" is actually between
eg: 5/8 7am to 5/9 6:59:59am

Well, if you could transform your 24 hour day to match date_trunc OR
write your own stable / immutable function to break it on those times.
 I think it could be done.  You could then get a useful index on it.
I think you'd have to use timestamps and not timestamps with timezones
to make it immutable.

Anyway, I think that would get rid of that huge nested loop.

OK, looking at your query and the plan, what you're doing is kind of this:

157 Rows times 1661440 Rows (cross product) = 260M or so and then you
filter out the 157 original rows and their matches.  Note that an
explain ANALYZE might shed more light, but given the high cost in this
query for the nested loop I'm guessing the only thing you can do is
throw more work_mem at it.  But it's fundamentally flawed in design I
think.

If you're always working with dates maybe joining on
date_trunc('day',test_run_start_date)=date_trunc('day',startdate')
with an index on both terms will work?
