Performance degradation in PostgreSQL 7.1beta3 vs 6.5.3

Dear Tom,
I am writing to you because you are the maintainer of the
query optimizer and planner.
I have found a very significant performance degradation
between PostgreSQL 6.5.3 and 7.1beta3, which will severely impact two
large applications that I have developed and maintain for several
clients. The performance difference is seen with the use of indices in
SELECT statements, whereby the current release does not make effective
use of the indices and 6.5.3 does. All of these tests were run on a SGI
R10000 Indigo2 system running Irix 6.5. All the regression tests passed
as expected for both versions.
I have followed the discussion in pgsql-hackers over the previous
months and others have noted some performance problems, and the response
has typically been to VACUUM the tables. Unfortunately, this is not a
practical option for my applications. They are very large -- I have one
table that is 17GB in length, and the applications are used frequently.
More importantly, PostgreSQL 6.5.3 works very, very well without
VACUUM'ing.
In order to assist you to diagnosing and correcting this
problem, I have prepared a test database that shows the problems. I
will attach three files; the test script, the log from running it on
version 6.5.3, and the log from running it on version 7.1beta3. In
addition, I have setup an anonymous FTP directory on
ftp.congen.com:/pub/pg_perf which contains all of these files as well
as the compressed table dumps used to build the test database. (When
you have finished copying the files, please let me know.)
The test script creates the database including the necessary
indexing, and then runs EXPLAIN on each of the queries followed by
actually executing the queries with "timex" commands to report elapsed
times. The striking difference in the query plans is that 7.1 uses
only sequential searches for the SELECT's whereas 6.5.3 uses index
scans. As a result, 7.1 is almost two orders of magnitude slower than
6.5.3 with exactly the same data, schema, and queries.
I plead with you to revisit this question of performance and
fix PostgreSQL 7.1 to work as well as PostgreSQL 6.5.3 does. I depend
upon PostgreSQL for much of my work, and I do not want to abandon it
because of this performance problem which arose only recently. Thank
you.

You can't afford to run a VACUUM ANALYZE even once in the lifetime of
the table?

6.5 effectively assumes that "foo = constant" will select exactly one
row, if it has no statistics to prove otherwise. I don't regard that
as a well-chosen default, even if it does happen to work OK for your
application. Selecting an indexscan when a seqscan is needed is just
as evil as doing the reverse; what's much worse is that 6.5 will
pick incredibly bad join plans (ie, nested loops) because it thinks
that very little data is coming out of the scans.
If you want to revert to the 6.5 behavior without doing a VACUUM, you
could probably get pretty close withupdate pg_attribute set attdispersion = -1.0;
Stats-gathering and planning certainly does need a great deal of
additional work, but I'm afraid that none of that will happen before
7.1.

Dear Tom, > You can't afford to run a VACUUM ANALYZE even once in the lifetime of > the table? Not very often at best, and certainly not routinely. Some of my tables exceed 10GB and have multiple indices. However, to test your suggestion, I modified my performance test script to "VACUUM ANALYZE" all the tables prior to invoking EXPLAIN, and it improves all of the searches except this one (EXPLAIN output also included): explain select count(*) from comparisons_4 where code = 80003; NOTICE: QUERY PLAN: Aggregate (cost=15659.29..15659.29 rows=1 width=0) -> Seq Scan on comparisons_4 (cost=0.00..15640.81 rows=7391 width=0) EXPLAIN The choice of sequential scan here takes 30x longer. > > > More importantly, PostgreSQL 6.5.3 works very, very well without > > VACUUM'ing. > > 6.5 effectively assumes that "foo = constant" will select exactly one > row, if it has no statistics to prove otherwise.

I've tuned my applications to work well with these defaults (and demonstrate to my peers that PostgreSQL is comparable to Oracle in performance for these types of queries). I am willing to make changes to my applications to make them work as well with 7.1, but the performance of the query above worries me. I think the current planner will make the wrong decision more often than the right one. To test this further on this table, I went through the comparisons_4 table and found that code 13 appears the most (73912) out of 591825 rows. In this case, 6.5.3 takes 8.56 seconds to return its answer, whereas 7.1 takes 12.11 seconds. Even in the worst case for this table, the indexed scan is faster, but the optimizer decides on the sequential scan. It appears that the decision point for the switch to sequential scans isn't set properly. To me, this is a bug. > If you want to revert to the 6.5 behavior without doing a VACUUM, you > could probably get pretty close with > update pg_attribute set attdispersion = -1.0; Does VACUUM ANALYZE set this column to its calculated value? What kinds of queries would not give 6.5 behavior if I set this column as you suggest? Alternatively, how hard would it be to add another SET variable like USE_6_5_PLANNING_RULES? Personally, that would be most helpful from an application development viewpoint because I could switch to PostgreSQL 7.1 without destroying the performance of my applications, and then test new versions with the 7.1 planner with less potential for service disruption. > Stats-gathering and planning certainly does need a great deal of > additional work, but I'm afraid that none of that will happen before > 7.1. As I said above, I've put a lot of effort into making my applications work quickly with Postgres, and I'm looking forward to using the new features that are available with version 7.1. However, I'm very concerned that I will not be able to achieve the same performance without detailed knowledge of the internals. Shouldn't I be assured that I will improve the performance of a query by creating a index on the fields used for selecting the row? That is not the case for the query above. Finally, I apologize for being a little strident here. I've been advocating for and using Postgres for four years, and it's frustrating when a new version results in a serious and noticeable performance degradation.

Probably not here. Sometimes it has made difference if the system does not recognize the other side of comparison (80003) as being of the same type as the index. what are the cost estimates when you run explain with seqscan disabled ? do => SET ENABLE_SEQSCAN TO OFF; see: (http://www.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/admin/runtime-config.htm#RUNTIME-CONFIG-OPTIMIZER) ----------------- Hannu

You could try experimenting with SET RANDOM_PAGE_COST TO x.x; from the page above RANDOM_PAGE_COST (floating point) Sets the query optimizer's estimate of the cost of a nonsequentially fetched disk page. this is measured as a multiple of the cost of a sequential page fetch. Note: Unfortunately, there is no well-defined method of determining ideal values for the family of "COST" variables that were just described. You are encouraged to experiment and share your findings. ------------- Hannu
