> I'm having a problem with a slow query - I tried several things to optimize the queries but didn't really help. The output of explain analyse shows sequential scan on a table of 25 million rows. Even though it is indexed and (I put a multi-column index on the fields used in the query), the explain utility shows no usage of the scan...
That index looks pretty useless judging from the rowcounts, so I'm not
surprised that the planner didn't use it. You might have better luck with
an index on the split_part expression
split_part(split_part((s.attvalue)::text, ' '::text, 1), '.'::text, 1)
since it's the join of that to e.name that seems to be actually selective.
(The planner doesn't appear to realize that it is, but ANALYZE'ing after
creating the index should fix that.)
