Dear all
Could you help me understand these two execution plans for the same
query (query 3 benchmark TPCH www.tpc.org/tpch), executed in two
different environments of Postgresql, as described below. These plans
were generated by the EXPLAIN ANALYZE command, and the time of plan 1
was 4.7 minutes and plan 2 was 2.95 minutes.
Execution Plan 1 (query execution time 4.7 minutes):
- https://explain.depesz.com/s/Ughh
- Postgresql version 10.1 (default) with index on l_shipdate (table lineitem)
Execution Plan 2 (query execution time 2.95 minutes):
- https://explain.depesz.com/s/7Zb7
- Postgresql version 9.5 (version with source code changed by me) with
index on l_orderkey (table lineitem).
Some doubts
- Difference between GroupAggregate and Finalize GroupAggregate
- because some algorithms show measurements on "Disk" and others on
"Memory" example:
- External sort Disk: 52784kB
- quicksort Memory: 47770kB
Because one execution plan was much smaller than the other,
considering that the query is the same and the data are the same.
--------------------------------------------------
select
l_orderkey,
sum(l_extendedprice * (1 - l_discount)) as revenue,
o_orderdate,
o_shippriority
from
customer,
orders,
lineitem
where
c_mktsegment = 'HOUSEHOLD'
and c_custkey = o_custkey
and l_orderkey = o_orderkey
and o_orderdate < date '1995-03-21'
and l_shipdate > date '1995-03-21'
group by
l_orderkey,
o_orderdate,
o_shippriority
order by
revenue desc,
o_orderdate
