The latest Linux kernel is 3.13 (https://www.kernel.org), so I assume

So which distribution of Linux are you using?

Re: [PERFORM] Slow query (wrong index used maybe)

My developers have had the same issue.

Postgres 9.2.3 on Linux 5.6.

The query planner estimates (for 27 table join SQL) that using the nestloop
is faster, when in fact it is not. A hashjoin returns results faster. We've
set enable_nestloop = false and have gotten good results. The problem is,
nestoop would be faster for other types of queries. Maybe ones with fewer
joins.

Recently we made a change that forced our multi join queires to slow down.
We now build temp views for each user session. To speed these queries up, we
up'd geqo_effort = 10. This has also given us good results; but again, we
don't know if there will be another impact down the road.

Same issue here with redesign. There is some simple denormalization we could
do that would minimize our joins. Instead if link tables, we would utilize
hstore, json or array columns types.

Hello Stelian, 

Have you tried to use func_table module?, I think it will help you to eliminate 
all the joins.

I did raise both to 40 and it works flawless (for now). I got the
response time to less than a second. However I don't know what the
implications are for the future.

Heh, I wish it was this easy. This whole thing is part of us moving away
from Oracle to Postgres. We already have this huge DB with this schema
in Oracle (which was successfully imported into Postgres, minus these
performance issues we're seeing now) and I don't know how feasible it is
to even start thinking about a redesign. 

But I appreciate your input regarding this. Maybe one of these days I
will have success in convincing my boss to even start taking a look at
the design of the DB (you know the saying "it works, don't fix it").

No, I haven't. I can have a look later, thanks.

Think you'll need to raise join_collapse_limit and from_collapse_limit
to get the best plan here.  The planning time might hurt, though.

TBH that schema looks designed for inefficiency; you'd be better off
rethinking the design rather than hoping the planner is smart enough
to save you from it.
