Yes, rewriting the query with an IN clause was also my first approach, but I didn't help much. 
The Query plan did change a little bit but the performance was not impacted.

CREATE INDEX idx_arcstatus_le1 ON schema.logtable ( archivestatus ) where (archivestatus <= 1)
ANALYZE  schema.logtable

This resulted in this query plan:

seemingly faster.
After doing a few selects, I reran ANALYZE:
Now it's even faster, probably due to cache and other mechanisms.

I don't see the new index used but it seems it's boosting the performance nevertheless.
I kept the query, so I didn't rewrite the query to be WITHOUT nulls. 
Thank you already for the hint. What else can I do? With the current parameters, the query finishes in about 3.9-5.2 seconds which is already much better but still nowhere near the speeds of 280 ms in oracle.
I would love to get it to at least 1 second.

Assunto: Very slow Query compared to Oracle / SQL - Server

SELECT column1,..., column54 where ((entrytype = 4000 or entrytype = 4001 or
entrytype = 4002) and (archivestatus <= 1)) order by timestampcol desc;

 

The first thing I would try is rewriting the query to:

SELECT column1,..., column54   FROM logtable WHERE (entrytype in (4000,4001,4002))    AND (archivestatus <= 1))  ORDER BY timestampcol DESC;

Check if that makes a difference...

Luis R. Weck

The IN statement will probable result in just recheck condition change to entrytype = any('{a,b,c}'::int[]). Looks like dispersion of archivestatus is not enough to use index idx_arcstatus.

Please try to create partial index with condition like (archivestatus <= 1) and rewrite select to use (archivestatus is not null and archivestatus <= 1).

CREATE INDEX idx_arcstatus_le1 ON schema.logtable ( archivestatus ) where (archivestatus <= 1) TABLESPACE tablespace;

I'm sorry, 'archivestatus is not null' is only necessary for index without nulls.


CREATE INDEX idx_arcstatus_le1 ON schema.logtable ( archivestatus ) where (archivestatus is not null and archivestatus <= 1) TABLESPACE tablespace;
