Hi,

Do you really need to do “select *”?

In other words, is it necessary to have all columns in the result?

This new index is used but still the read is 230mb.

I normally create my indexes to match the where clause of the query. While
technically, it should not matter, I find a lot of time, it does. 

 

I would create an index on (status, sender_reference, sent_at) and see if
the improves your query performance.

 

	
 

SELECT * FROM docs WHERE status 

IN ('draft',

'sent')

AND sender_reference 

IN ('Custom/1175',

'Client/362',

'Custom/280')

ORDER BY sent_at DESC

 

 

 

Thanks,

Hello

 

I have a database with few 60gb tables. Tables rows are requested with
multiple ANY or IN operators. I am not able to find an easy way to make DB
able to use indexes. I often hit the index, but see a a spike of 200mb of IO
or disk read.

 

I am using version 13 but soon 14.

 

I wrote a reproduction script on version 14 with plans included.
https://gist.github.com/benoittgt/ab72dc4cfedea2a0c6a5ee809d16e04d

 

I also have plans on a snapshot of the DB with real data.

- The current query that I try to improve :
https://explain.dalibo.com/plan/8b8f6e0he9feb551

  - I added the DB schema + index in query view. As you can see I have many
indexes for testing purpose and try what the planner can do.

- The optimized query when I have only one ANY and migrate to UNION ALL for
each parameter of the ANY operator
https://explain.dalibo.com/plan/427gg053d07328ga . Query is fast as I would
like but it means generate some merge to be able to get a fast result.

- The new issue I have when I have a new ANY operator on the previous
optimized query. Big IO/read
https://explain.dalibo.com/plan/e7ha9g637b4eh946

 

It seems to me quite undoable to generate for every parameters a query that
will then merge. I have sometimes 3-4 ANY operators with up to 15 elements
in an array.

 

Is there a misusage of my indexes?

Is there a limitation when using ANY or IN operators and ordered LIMIT
behind?

 

Thanks a lot
