If I reduce the number of rows in cnts to 100, I can actually make an
EXPLAIN ANALYZE with this query plan finish in reasonable time:
miernik=> EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT uid FROM cnts WHERE uid IN (SELECT uid FROM alog WHERE pid = 555949 AND odp = 1);
QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nested Loop IN Join (cost=0.00..3585.54 rows=1 width=4) (actual time=51831.430..267844.815 rows=7 loops=1)
-> Seq Scan on cnts (cost=0.00..14.00 rows=700 width=4) (actual time=0.005..148.464 rows=100 loops=1)
-> Index Scan using alog_uid_idx on alog (cost=0.00..301.02 rows=1 width=4) (actual time=2676.959..2676.959 rows=0 loops=100)
Index Cond: ((alog.uid)::integer = (cnts.uid)::integer)
Filter: ((alog.pid = 555949::numeric) AND (alog.odp = 1::numeric))
Total runtime: 267844.942 ms
(6 rows)
The real running times are about 10 times more than the estimates. Is
that normal?
