Friends,

 

 

 

            Who can help me? My SELECT in a base with 1 milion register, using  expression index = 6seconds…

 

 

Please, I don’t  know how to makes it better.

 

 

Thanks

Run your query using

   EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT ... your query ...

and then post the results to this newsgroup.  Nobody can help until they see the results of EXPLAIN ANALYZE.  Also,
includeall other relevant information, such as Postgres version, operating system, amount of memory, and any changes
youhave made to the Postgres configuration file.

Do you have analyzed your table before doing this ?

# PostgreSQL configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This file consists of lines of the form:
#
#   name = value
#
# (The '=' is optional.) White space may be used. Comments are introduced
# with '#' anywhere on a line. The complete list of option names and
# allowed values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation. The
# commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values.
#
# Please note that re-commenting a setting is NOT sufficient to revert it
# to the default value, unless you restart the postmaster.
#
# Any option can also be given as a command line switch to the
# postmaster, e.g. 'postmaster -c log_connections=on'. Some options
# can be changed at run-time with the 'SET' SQL command.
#
# This file is read on postmaster startup and when the postmaster
# receives a SIGHUP. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect, or use
# "pg_ctl reload". Some settings, such as listen_addresses, require
# a postmaster shutdown and restart to take effect.

Run your query using

   EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT ... your query ...

and then post the results to this newsgroup.  Nobody can help until they see
the results of EXPLAIN ANALYZE.  Also, include all other relevant
information, such as Postgres version, operating system, amount of memory,
and any changes you have made to the Postgres configuration file.

assuming data_encerramento is a date column, try:
WHERE data_encerramento between   '2006-12-01' and  '2007-01-31'

# PostgreSQL configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This file consists of lines of the form:
#
#   name = value
#
# (The '=' is optional.) White space may be used. Comments are introduced #
with '#' anywhere on a line. The complete list of option names and # allowed
values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation. The # commented-out
settings shown in this file represent the default values.
#
# Please note that re-commenting a setting is NOT sufficient to revert it #
to the default value, unless you restart the postmaster.
#
# Any option can also be given as a command line switch to the # postmaster,
e.g. 'postmaster -c log_connections=on'. Some options # can be changed at
run-time with the 'SET' SQL command.
#
# This file is read on postmaster startup and when the postmaster # receives
a SIGHUP. If you edit the file on a running system, you have # to SIGHUP the
postmaster for the changes to take effect, or use # "pg_ctl reload". Some
settings, such as listen_addresses, require # a postmaster shutdown and
restart to take effect.

See the row mismatch there?  It expects about 11k rows, gets back 2.3
million.  That's a pretty big misestimate.  Have you run analyze
recently on this table?

Is there a reason you're doing this:


to_char( data_encerramento ,'yyyy-mm')
between   '2006-12' and  '2007-01'

when you should be able to just do:

data_encerramento between   '2006-12-01' and  '2007-01-31'
?  that should be able to use good estimates from analyze.  My guess
is the planner is making a bad guess because of the way you're
handling the dates.

400 Meg is kind of low for a server with 4 G ram.  25% is more
reasonable (i.e. 125000 buffers)

Whoa nellie!  thats ~ 3 Gig of work mem, and 4 gig of maintenance work
mem.  In a machine with 4 gig ram, that's a recipe for disaster.

Something more reasonable would be 128000 (~125Meg) for each since
you've limited your machine to 10 connections you should be ok.
setting work_mem too high can run your machine out of memory and into
a swap storm that will kill performance.

So, the data in this database isn't important?  Cause that's what
fsync = off says to me.  Better to buy yourself a nice battery backed
caching RAID controller than turn off fsync.

> effective_cache_size = 41943040         # typically 8KB each

And you're machine has 343,604,830,208 bytes of memory available for
caching?  Seems a little high to me.

Seldom if ever is it a good idea to bonk the planner on the head with
random_page_cost=1.  setting it to 1.2 ot 1.4 is low enough, but 1.4
to 2.0 is more realistic.

I think you need stats_row_level on for autovacuum, but I'm not 100% sure.

Let us know what happens after fixing these settings and running
analyze and running explain analyze, with possible changes to the
query.

IMO, much better would be:

WHERE data_encerramento >= '2006-12-01' AND data_encerramento <
'2007-02-01'

This means you don't have to worry about last day of the month or
timestamp precision. In fact, since the field is actually a timestamp,
the between posted above won't work correctly.

Strange!!! Why does the index not works?

That's correct (of course you need "start_collector" on as well).  Most
likely, autovacuum is not even running.

It's unlikely that it's going to be faster to index scan 2.3M rows than
to sequential scan them. Try setting enable_seqscan=false and see if it
is or not.

Yes, the time for a seqscan is mostly dependent on table size and not
the number of rows. But the number of rows plays a very large role in
the cost of an indexscan.

Which is probably the reason why the planner thinks a seq scan is
faster than an index scan...
