Hi team

Second column of composite index not in use effectively with index scan
when using second column at where clause

I have composite index on (placedon,id) of test
When quering  select * from test where id = '4234';
Value of id changes and during concurrent activity and cpu utilization
increased toomuch  that i have observed which means query plan changed why

I could see index scan with explain for it

Is there any way to keep index scan for it during even on concurrency
rather than seperate index on second column of composite index ?

Hope everyone understand this

Regards,
Durga Mahesh


Hi Greg

you mentioned that below

(please start a new thread in the future rather than replying to an
existing one)

You cannot query on b and use an index on (a,b) as you observed. However,
you can have two indexes:

index1(a)
index2(b)

Postgres will be able to combine those when needed in the case where your
WHERE clause needs to filter by both columns. So then you no longer need
the two-column index.



Hi Greg ,

Here not using composite index on ordinary table.
Composite index that i use on partitioned table is mandatory for use to
replicate data to target using pglogical  (sorry this is not mentioned
earlier)

composite key (placedon,id)
In concurrent mode if i use id at where clause then query plan for that id
column changes

How to mitigate it rather than use seperate index for id to continue
without change in query plan (index scan) during concurrent activity

I hope you understand this

Regards,
Durga Mahesh





Cheers,
Greg
