* optimizing query

hello all,

I am getting the following output from EXPLAIN, concerning a query with 
joins. The merge uses index scans but takes too long, in my opinion. The 
query is in fact only a part (subquery) of another one, but it is the 
bottle neck.

As I am quite ignorant in optimizing queries, and I have no idea where 
to find documentation on the net on how to learn optimizing my queries, 
I am posting this here in hope someone will give me either tips how to 
optimize, or where to find some tutorial that could help me get along on 
my own.

dropping the "DISTINCT" has some effect, but I can't really do without.

Thank you
Chantal

The first thing is, have you done ANALYZE recently to make sure that the
statistics are correct and what does EXPLAIN ANALYZE give you (that will
run the query and give the estimate and actual).  Also, if you haven't
vacuumed recently, you may want to vacuum full.

How many rows are there on gene, disease and both occurrances tables?
I'd wonder if perhaps using explicit sql join syntax (which postgres uses
to constrain order) to join disease and disease_occurrences_puid before
joining it to the other two would be better or worse in practice.

hi Stephan,

thank you for your reply.

I ran vacuum analyze before calling explain. As this is a newly built 
database where no rows have been deleted, yet, I thought vacuum full 
would have no effect. In fact, BEFORE running vacuum full, the cost of 
the query is estimates by explain analyze as 33 secs, and AFTER running 
it, the cost is estimate to be 43 secs??? (Hey, I want at least the 10 
secs back ;-) )

I have just installed this database on a "bigger" (see the system info 
further down) machine, and I expected the queries would run _really_ 
fast. especially, as there is a lot more data to be inserted in the 
occurrences tables.

This is the row count of the tables and the output of explain analyze 
before and after running vacuum full (after that, I listed some system 
and postgresql information):

Hmm, how about how many pages are in the various tables, (do a
vacuum verbose <table> for the various tables and what is sort_mem
set to?  It's picking the index scan to get the tables in sorted
order, but I wonder if that's really the best plan given it's getting
a large portion of the tables.

Hmm, what does it do if you set enable_indexscan=off; ?

Seems like most of the time is going into the sort steps.

Try increasing sort_mem.

Also, I'd back off on shared_buffers if I were you.  There's no evidence
that values above a few thousand buy anything.

hi Stephan, hi Tom,

sort_mem was at its default: 1024. I increased it, and the query takes 
even longer (~ 36 secs). I tried two different values: 4096 and 8192, 
this last time I reduced the shared_buffers to 25600 (--> ~ 37 secs).
Another point is: after a vacuum, the cost would slightly increase.

would it help to cluster the index? but as I am using several indexes I 
find it difficult to decide on which index to cluster.

(I paste the output from vacuum full verbose analyze)

Thanks!
Chantal

Increasing shared_buffers above several thousand will only be a win if
your entire working set will fit in the larger buffer pool, but didn't
in the previous size.  If you working set is smaller or larger than
that, pushing it above several thousand isn't a win.  Is that a more
definitive answer?

Hello.

I have a query which works a bit slow.

It's runned on desktop computer: AMD Athlon X2 2GHz , Win Xp sp2, 1GB ram.
Postgres 8.4.5 with some changes in config:

shared_buffers = 200MB                  # min 128kB
                               # (change requires restart)
temp_buffers = 8MB                      # min 800kB
work_mem = 12MB                         # min 64kB
maintenance_work_mem = 32MB             # min 1MB

Note that your LEFT JOIN condition is probably quite slow...

Please post EXPLAIN ANALYZE for this simplified version :

SELECT
	R."Osoba weryfikuj?ca",
	R."LP",
	A."NKA",
	A."NTA",
	Sum("Ile")
FROM		"NumeryA" A
LEFT JOIN	"Rejestr stacji do naprawy" R ON (
	    A."NKA" = R."Numer kierunkowy"
	and A."NTA" like R."Numer stacji"
	and substr(A."NTA",1,5) = substr(R."Numer stacji",1,5)
)
WHERE
	    A."DataPliku" >= current_date-4*30
	and A."KodB??du"=74::text
	and R."Data weryfikacji" >= current_date-4*30
GROUP BY R."Osoba weryfikuj?ca",R."LP",A."NKA", A."NTA"
ORDER BY Sum("Ile") DESC
LIMIT 5000

And also post EXPLAIN ANALYZE for this :

SELECT
	A."NKA",
	A."NTA",
	Sum("Ile") AS ss -- if it's in this table
FROM		"NumeryA" A
WHERE
	    A."DataPliku" >= current_date-4*30
	and A."KodB??du"=74::text
GROUP BY A."NKA", A."NTA"
