Hello,
Please reference these explain plans. This is Pg 8.4.1
http://explain-analyze.info/query_plans/4032-query-plan-2745
http://explain-analyze.info/query_plans/4033-query-plan-2746
First, could somebody explain what is leading the first query to choose
a different plan that's much slower? In the first plan only, this
expression is in the select & group by:
s.store_num || ' - ' || s.title
These are both non-null varchar fields. Both have a unique index.
Second, why would it choose to sort on disk for what appears to be ~32MB
of data, when my work_mem and temp_buffers are both 64 MB each?
If I increase work_mem and temp_buffers to 128 MB, I get a faster plan:
http://explain-analyze.info/query_plans/4034-query-plan-2747
But it's only reporting 92kb of memory used? Why don't I see numbers
between 64 MB and 128 MB for both the on-disk and in-memory plans?
Thanks,
Adam
