Hello
is any reason why join removal doesn't remove useless relation b?
postgres=# \d a Table "public.a"Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------a | integer |
Indexes: "a_a_idx" UNIQUE, btree (a)
postgres=# \d b Table "public.b"Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------b | integer |
Indexes: "b_b_idx" UNIQUE, btree (b)
postgres=# explain select a from a left join b on true; QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------Nested Loop Left Join (cost=0.00..72074.00
rows=5760000width=4) -> Seq Scan on a (cost=0.00..34.00 rows=2400 width=4) -> Materialize (cost=0.00..46.00
rows=2400width=0) -> Seq Scan on b (cost=0.00..34.00 rows=2400 width=0)
(4 rows)
postgres=# explain select distinct a from a left join b on true; QUERY PLAN
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Unique (cost=0.00..86520.25 rows=2400
width=4) -> Nested Loop Left Join (cost=0.00..72120.25 rows=5760000 width=4) -> Index Scan using a_a_idx on a
(cost=0.00..80.25 rows=2400 width=4) -> Materialize (cost=0.00..46.00 rows=2400 width=0) -> Seq
Scanon b (cost=0.00..34.00 rows=2400 width=0)
(5 rows)
