It is not true for transactions with SELECTs only. It is wise to join multiple queries in one transaction when you do multiple _changes_ in a DB, because after each change DB must save it into WAL file and increase shared "Transaction ID sequence". Also as in your example, transactions with isolation SERIALIZABLE and REPEATABLE READ are used to do (even RO) queries to the DB in a consistent state. But RO queries don't become faster. >> If you want to measure time, run both versions 1 times in 8 >> connections simultaneously and compare results. ;-) >> >> 32ms * 10k requests / 8 threads = 4ms = 40sec > > Thats more complicated, I think I learned enough about it. But thanks. Real world is complex. 40 seconds per test is not long. If you have to save only one param for the other query creating a temp table is heavy enough. I'm waiting for a result of 10k requests test. -- Best regards, Vitaly Burovoy -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

If you are able to create temporary table with all fields of the first result only for avoiding one statement, it can be rewritten without CTE and one INNER JOIN (five statements): BEGIN; CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE temptable(id ..., col1 ..., col2 ..., ...) ON COMMIT DROP; INSERT INTO temptable SELECT id, col1, col2, ... FROM t0 WHERE col1 = value1 and col2 = value2 and ... RETURNING *; SELECT col1 FROM t1 INNER JOIN temptable ON (t0_id = temptable.id); COMMIT; === If it is hard to detect (or just lazy to write) what types temporary table has, you can rewrite it as (also five statements): BEGIN; CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE temptable ON COMMIT DROP AS SELECT id, col1, col2, ... FROM t0 WHERE id = ( SELECT max(id) FROM t0 WHERE col1 = value1 and col2 = value2 and ... ); SELECT * FROM temptable; SELECT col1 FROM t1 INNER JOIN temptable ON (t0_id = temptable.id); COMMIT; === But it is not so useful. In the case in original letter the best way is to use only two queries and pass id from the result of the first query as an argument to the second query. See the other letter[3] in the thread. Temporary tables are useful for keeping a lot of rows to prevent copying them between client and server.

I'm not sure you buy much using an updating CTE in lieu of a dedicated statement populating the temporary table. It seems a bit more confusing to comprehend and the performance benefit has to be marginal given we expect to only insert a single row into the temp table. David J.
Re: [GENERAL] execute same query only one time?
Hi, is there a best practice to share data between two select statements? Hi, I didn't check the whole thread so forgive me if this was already proposed, but maybe you could do something like: create temp table result2 (...) query_1: WITH cte as (select ..), tmp as ( INSERT INTO result2 select ... from cte), SELECT ... from cte; query_2: select * from result2; regards, Marc Mamin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

I guess you measure it by your app. It is just a measurement error. +-3ms can be a sum of TCP packet loss, system interrupts, system timer inaccuracy, multiple cache missing, different layers (you are using Java, it has a VM and a lot of intermediate abstraction layers).

I think it fully ruins speed at all. Try to create tables, insert at least 10 rows into each of them (note that cardinality between them is 1:m) and see EXPLAIN of your query.

In the original letter the first query returns one row: "(id, col1, col2)", and the second one returns rows "(val1), (val2), (val3), ..." (values of the t1.col1). If you use joining, you get rows: (id, col1, col2, val1) (id, col1, col2, val2) (id, col1, col2, val3) ... where values of the first three columns are the same. > > Alban Hertroys -- Best regards, Vitaly Burovoy -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Could you clarify why you don't want to pass id from the first query to the second one: select col1 from t1 where t0_id = value_id_from_the_first_query -- Best regards, Vitaly Burovoy -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

You can use temporary autodeleting tables[1] for that. Similar to: BEGIN; CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE temptable(id int) ON COMMIT DROP; INSERT INTO temptable SELECT max(id) FROM t0 WHERE col1 = value1 and col2 = value2 and ...; SELECT id, col1, col2, ...
