Subject: [ADMIN] PG 9..5 index performance Q's
Hi List,
running PGSQL 9.5.1 ( EL7) ,
we are seeing a issues with one of our SQL statement getting the wrong
plan once in a while ( large temp tables being generate, exec time
takes > 3 minutes compared with fastes plan < 1 min), we want to undestand why a new/ expensive plan is been used
insteadof efficient one, there are not data changes on the tables, any tips where to look?
Second , I would like to know if when re-creating one index ( non pk ) on a large table with already existing indexes,
are All tables statistics being re-generated? ( there is a way to control persistency of old stats?)
Isabella

Without seeing execution plans (both: fast and slow) it's hard to tell.
Auto_explain extension can help you catching these plans in PG log.
Your temp tables - are they being analyzed?
