Dear Gurus,
Here is this strange query that can't find the optimum plan unless I disable
some scan modes or change the costs.
(A) is a 2x2.4GHz server with hw raid5 and v7.3.4 database. It chooses
hashjoin.
(B) is a 300MHz server with 7200rpm ide and v7.4.2 database. It chooses
seqscan.
If I disable hashjoin/seqscan+hashjoin+mergejoin, both choose index scan.
(A) goes from 1000ms to 55ms
(B) goes from 5000+ms to 300ms
If your expert eyes could catch something missing (an index, analyze or
something), I'd be greatly honoured :) Also, tips about which optimizer
costs may be too high or too low are highly appreciated.
As far as I fumbled with (B), disabling plans step by step got worse until
after disabled all tree. Reducing random_page_cost from 2 to 1.27 or lower
instantly activated the index scan, but I fear that it hurt most of our
other queries. The faster server did not respond to any changes, even with
rpc=1 and cpu_index_tuple_cost=0.0001, it chose hash join.
All that I discovered is that both servers fail to find the right index
(szlltlvl_ttl_szlltlvl) unless forced to.
In hope of an enlightening answer,
Yours,
G.
