can you please show us an EXPLAIN ANALYZE of this query (not only
EXPLAIN). please paste it in a file and attach it so it doesn't get
reformatted by the mail client.

what version of postgres is this?

Could you please once trying Analyzing both tables and then run the query to check which plan it uses:

Analyze SARS_ACTS;
Analyze SARS_ACTS_RUN;

From the numbers in your attached plan, it seems like it should be doing a nested loop from the 580 rows (it thinks) that match in SARS_ACTS_RUN against the index on sars_run_id to pull out the 3297 rows (again, it think, though it is way of there). I can't see why it would not do that. There were some planner issues in the early 9.2 releases that caused very large indexes to be punished, but I don't think those were in 9.1

Could you "set enable_hashjoin to off" and post the "explain analyze" that that gives?


Cheers,

Explain analyze doesn't help to collect statistics. You should use Analyze <table_name>.

Ideally optimizer should have slected the best plan, but just to check you can once try with

SET enable_hashjoin=off;

And see what is the plan it chooses and does it pick up index scan on larger table?

Could you please output of \d SARS_ACTS and \d SARS_ACTS_RUN?

doing it just for a single query, could be a tool for solving
particular problems.
setting it in postgresql.conf, therefore affecting all queries, is
like using a hammer to change tv channel... it will cause more
problems than the one it solves.

what you can do is:

1) execute:

SET enable_hashjoin TO OFF;
SELECT here
RESET enable_hashjoin TO ON;

2) in a function:

CREATE FUNCTION do_something() RETURNS bigint AS
$$
   SELECT here
$$ LANGUAGE sql SET enable_hashjoin TO OFF STABLE;

If I see the plan from your other mail as below where Hash join is selected, the cost of Nested Loop is much more, that
isthe reason why optimizer would have selected  
Hash Join.

serverdb=# explain analyze select count(*) as y0_ from SARS_ACTS this_ inner join SARS_ACTS_RUN tr1_ on
this_.SARS_RUN_ID=tr1_.IDwhere tr1_.ALGORITHM='SMAT'; 
                                                    QUERY PLAN

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aggregate  (cost=3983424.05..3983424.06 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=1358298.003..1358298.004 rows=1 loops=1)
  -> Hash Join  (cost=44.93..3983415.81 rows=3297 width=0) (actual time=2593.768..1358041.205 rows 1481710 loops=1)


It is quite surprising that after optimizer decided the cost of some plan (Hash Join) to be lower but actual execution
costof same is more.  
There might be some problem with cost calculation model of Hash Join for some cases.

By the way which version of PostgreSQL you are using?

> But what negative impact is disabling hash joins?

I think using it as a temporary fix might be okay, but keeping such code in your application might be risky for you,
becauseas the data changes in your tables, it could be quite possible that 
in future Hash Join might be the best and cheapest way.

Can you try reproducing it with small data or else can you attach your schema and data for the tables/indexes used in
query?

Looking at the execution plan makes me wonder what your work_mem is
set to.  Try cranking it up to test and lowering random_page_cost:

set work_mem='500MB';
set random_page_cost=1.2;
explain analyze select ...

and see what you get.
