List pgsql-performance
We're having a problem with a query during our investigation into Postgres (as an Oracle replacement). This query Postgres takes 20-40 seconds (multiple runs). Tom Lan recommended I post it here, with an explain-analyze.
 
Here's the query:
 
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT company_name, address_1, address_2, address_3, city,
address_list.state_province_id, state_province_short_desc, country_desc, zip_code, address_list.country_id,
contact_info.email, commercial_entity.user_account_id, phone_num_1, phone_num_fax, website, boats_website
FROM commercial_entity, country, user_account,
address_list LEFT JOIN state_province ON address_list.state_province_id = state_province.state_province_id
LEFT JOIN contact_info ON address_list.contact_info_id = contact_info.contact_info_id
WHERE address_list.address_type_id = 101
AND commercial_entity.commercial_entity_id=225528
AND commercial_entity.commercial_entity_id = address_list.commercial_entity_id
AND address_list.country_id = country.country_id
AND commercial_entity.user_account_id = user_account.user_account_id
AND user_account.user_role_id IN (101, 101);
 
Here's the explain:

I will post the schema in a seperate email - the list has rejected one big email 3 times now.
