Greetings,
Why does the append resulting from a inheritance take longer than one
resulting from UNION ALL?
summary:
Append resulting from inheritance:
-> Append (cost=0.00..17.43 rows=2 width=72) (actual
time=3.876..245.320 rows=28 loops=1)
Append resulting from UNION ALL:
-> Append (cost=0.00..17.45 rows=2 width=72) (actual
time=3.730..81.465 rows=28 loops=1)
in the case below both f_f_all_base and for_f_all_new are clustered on
the index based (group_id, group_forum_id) they were vacuum analyzed
before the test below.
