Il seguente join ha stime di riga molto diverse quando si esegue un join sulle partizioni rispetto a quando si unisce sull'intera tabella:
CREATE TABLE m_data.ga_session (
session_id BIGINT NOT NULL,
visitor_id BIGINT NOT NULL,
transaction_id TEXT,
timestamp TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE NOT NULL,
day_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
[...]
device_category TEXT NOT NULL,
[...]
operating_system TEXT
);
Per tutte le partizioni:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS m_data.ga_session_20170127 ( CHECK (day_id = 20170127) ) INHERITS (m_data.ga_session);
-- the identifier are theoretically invalid, but they get truncated to 63 chars and nevertheless work
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS "ga_session__m_tmp.normalize_device_category(ga_session.device_category)" on m_data.ga_session_20170127 USING btree (m_tmp.normalize_device_category(device_category)) ;
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS "ga_session__m_tmp.normalize_operating_system(operating_system)" on m_data.ga_session_20170127 USING btree (m_tmp.normalize_operating_system(operating_system)) ;
ANALYZE m_data.ga_session_20170127;
EXPLAIN analyse
SELECT *
FROM m_data.ga_session_20170127 ga_session
JOIN m_dim_next.device ON
device.device_category_name = m_tmp.normalize_device_category(ga_session.device_category)
AND device.operating_system_name = m_tmp.normalize_operating_system(ga_session.operating_system);
Le statistiche per questi indici sulle partizioni sono visibili:
SELECT * FROM pg_stats WHERE tablename ilike 'ga_session_20170127%';
schemaname |tablename |attname |inherited |null_frac |avg_width |n_distinct

m_data |ga_session_20170127__m_tmp.normalize_operating_system(operating |normalize_operating_system |false |0 |7 |14
Questo (con statistiche sull'indice sulla partizione) determina le seguenti (fini) stime del piano di query: 80146 stimato, 77503 effettivo

Ciò che non funziona è il join su tutta la tabella, che stima un conteggio delle righe completamente errato (832 stimato contro 876237 effettivo).

Questo a sua volta comporta scelte errate di join (loop nidificati) quando si utilizza quel join si traducono in più join (non mostrati qui).
In realtà avevo le stime di riga errate anche sulle partizioni prima di ANALYSEeseguire di nuovo le partizioni, quindi sembra che il pianificatore di query non tenga conto delle statistiche basate sull'indice quando si utilizza l'intera tabella.
Esiste un modo per fare in modo che il pianificatore di query raccolga le statistiche a livello della tabella padre o tenga conto delle singole statistiche delle partizioni durante la creazione del piano di query?
