Hi All,
I have been looking for a solution to a problem where my query is executing for a long time because it is running into a nested loop problem.
I have done explain analyze and it shows the query taking a very long time due to nested loops.
On the DB side, there are indices in place for all the required columns. By setting nested loop off there is a drastic increase in performance (from 40,000 ms to 600 ms) but I know this is not a right practice.
My postgres version is 9.3.2 on linux.
Please find the link for the query plan below :
http://explain.depesz.com/s/l9o
Also, find below the query that is being executed.
SELECT DISTINCT
"Sektion/Fachbereich"."parent",
"Studienfach"."ltxt",

AND "Studiengang"."faktor" >= 0 THEN "Studiengang"."faktor" * "Studierende"."summe"
ELSE "Studierende"."summe"
END)

AND "Studierende"."sem_rueck_beur_ein" = 20132
)
)
GROUP BY
"Sektion/Fachbereich"."parent",
"Studienfach"."ltxt"
According to my analysis, the where clause after the Union All is taking a lot of time for execution.
Any help with an alternative way to represent the query or what the cause of issue would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Manoj
