ok, I understand now

Thank you

Nothing strange about it.  89 rows out from the underlying CTE (which
appears to be dead accurate) times 1000 for the SRF's expansion.

> respective why estimation is unstrable

It isn't --- you are looking at two different subplans there, one with
a SRF in it and one without.

respective why estimation is unstrable

first (1MB work_mem)

 ->  CTE Scan on pl pl_1  (cost=0.00..468.59
rows=89000 width=4) (actual time=0.023..8.379 rows=566 loops=1000)
   Output: foo(pl_1.a)


second (3MB work_mem)

  ->  Hash  (cost=1.78..1.78 rows=89 width=4) (actual
time=9.650..9.650 rows=89 loops=1)
 Output: pl.a
 Buckets: 1024  Batches: 1  Memory Usage: 3kB
 ->  CTE Scan on pl  (cost=0.00..1.78 rows=89 width=4) (actual
time=8.468..9.346 rows=89 loops=1)
   Output: pl.a

I expect so estimation not depends on work_mem

no, there is strange estimation

 ->  Seq Scan on public.x2  (cost=0.00..345560.00 rows=500
width=4) (actual time=17.914..9330.645 rows=133 loops=1)

   Output: foo(pl_1.a)

CTE Scan expect rows=89000

I don't know how is possible to take too high number

I don't see anything tremendously wrong here.  The older branches are
choosing the right plan for entirely wrong reasons: they don't notice
that "select foo(a) from pl" has a set-returning function in the
targetlist and so don't adjust the estimated number of result rows
for that.  In this particular example, foo() seems to return an average
of about 11 rows per call, versus the default estimate of 1000 rows per
call, so the size of the result is overestimated and that dissuades
the planner from using a hashed subplan.  But the error could easily
have gone the other way, causing the planner to use a hashed subplan
when it shouldn't, and the consequences of that are even worse.  So
I don't think that ignoring SRFs in the targetlist is better.

If you add "ROWS 10" or so to the declaration of the function, you
get a better row estimate and it goes back to the hashed subplan.

[HACKERS] performance regression in 9.2 CTE with SRF function

2013-02-09 Thread Pavel Stehule
Hello

In Czech discussion group was reported performance regression of CTE
query. I wrote a test, when I can show it.

Execution on 9.2, 9.3 is about 9 sec, on 8.4, 9.1 is about 30ms with
default work_mem ='1MB'


optimal plan (8.4)

There is terribly wrong estimation when work_mem is lower

tables x and x2 are wery small - 64KB

plans are in English :))
