Hi,
I'm using PostgreSQL 14.3 and I'm getting strange behavior in a complex
query generated by the Entity Framework.
The inner (complex) query has a quick execution time:
# SELECT "Extent1"."id", CAST ("Extent1"."date" AS timestamp) AS "C3"
FROM "dbo"."ng_content" AS "Extent1"
INNER JOIN "dbo"."ng_path_content" AS "Extent2" ON "Extent1"."id" =
"Extent2"."id_content"
WHERE "Extent1"."date_from" <= CAST (LOCALTIMESTAMP AS timestamp)
AND "Extent1"."date_to" >= CAST (LOCALTIMESTAMP AS
timestamp)
AND 2 = "Extent1"."id_status"
AND EXISTS (
SELECT 1 AS "C1"
FROM (
SELECT "Extent3"."TagId" FROM
"dbo"."ngx_tag_content" AS "Extent3"
WHERE "Extent1"."id" = "Extent3"."ContentId"
) AS "Project1"
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1 AS "C1" FROM (SELECT 1 AS "C") AS
"SingleRowTable1"
WHERE "Project1"."TagId" = 337139)
)
AND ("Extent2"."id_path" IN (27495,27554,27555) AND
NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 AS "C1" FROM (SELECT 1 AS "C") AS "SingleRowTable2"
WHERE TRUE = FALSE)
);
id | C3

If I run the same query as a nested select I get similar results (Q1):
*SELECT "Project5".idFROM (*
SELECT "Extent1"."id", CAST ("Extent1"."date" AS timestamp) AS "C3"
FROM "dbo"."ng_content" AS "Extent1"
INNER JOIN "dbo"."ng_path_content" AS "Extent2" ON "Extent1"."id" =
"Extent2"."id_content"
WHERE "Extent1"."date_from" <= CAST (LOCALTIMESTAMP AS timestamp)
AND "Extent1"."date_to" >= CAST (LOCALTIMESTAMP AS
timestamp)
AND 2 = "Extent1"."id_status"
AND EXISTS (
SELECT 1 AS "C1"
FROM (
SELECT "Extent3"."TagId" FROM
"dbo"."ngx_tag_content" AS "Extent3"
WHERE "Extent1"."id" = "Extent3"."ContentId"
) AS "Project1"
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1 AS "C1" FROM (SELECT 1 AS "C") AS
"SingleRowTable1"
WHERE "Project1"."TagId" = 337139)
)
AND ("Extent2"."id_path" IN (27495,27554,27555) AND
NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 AS "C1" FROM (SELECT 1 AS "C") AS "SingleRowTable2"
WHERE TRUE = FALSE)
)

But if I add an ORDER BY and a LIMIT something goes very wrong (Q2):
# SELECT "Project5".id
FROM (
SELECT "Extent1"."id", CAST ("Extent1"."date" AS timestamp) AS "C3"
FROM "dbo"."ng_content" AS "Extent1"

I think that LIMIT is confusing the planner.
Forcing a path that in the end is not faster.
Can you try something similar to this?
WITH q AS (
SELECT "Project5".id
FROM (
SELECT "Extent1"."id", CAST ("Extent1"."date" AS timestamp) AS "C3"
FROM "dbo"."ng_content" AS "Extent1"
INNER JOIN "dbo"."ng_path_content" AS "Extent2" ON "Extent1"."id" =
"Extent2"."id_content"
WHERE "Extent1"."date_from" <= CAST (LOCALTIMESTAMP AS timestamp)
AND "Extent1"."date_to" >= CAST (LOCALTIMESTAMP AS
timestamp)
AND 2 = "Extent1"."id_status"
AND EXISTS (
SELECT 1 AS "C1"
FROM (
SELECT "Extent3"."TagId" FROM
"dbo"."ngx_tag_content" AS "Extent3"
WHERE "Extent1"."id" = "Extent3"."ContentId"
) AS "Project1"
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1 AS "C1" FROM (SELECT 1 AS "C") AS
"SingleRowTable1"
WHERE "Project1"."TagId" = 337139)
)
AND ("Extent2"."id_path" IN (27495,27554,27555) AND
NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 AS "C1" FROM (SELECT 1 AS "C") AS "SingleRowTable2"
WHERE TRUE = FALSE))
))
SELECT * FROM q ORDER BY q.C3 DESC LIMIT 6;
Probably, using CTE, the plan you want.

Hi,
The problem is that the query is generated by the framework, I'm not sure
if I can change anything on it. Any other way to influence planner?

A somewhat common problem.
A common workaround is to change "ORDER BY a" to something like "ORDER BY a+0"
(if your framework will allow it).

I'm not sure if it would help your original issue, but the rowcount estimate
here is bad - overestimating 2231839 rows instead of 5.
Could you try to determine which of those conditions (id_status, date_from,
date_to, or SubPlan) causes the mis-estimate, or if the estimate is only wrong
when they're combined ?
