Re: Nested Loop trouble : Execution time increases more

Re,

With modifing parameters like this :

ALTER TABLE keywords ALTER keyword SET STATISTICS 100;
ALTER TABLE keywords ALTER k_id SET STATISTICS 100;
ALTER TABLE engine ALTER k_id SET STATISTICS 100;
ALTER TABLE engine ALTER f_id SET STATISTICS 100;

vacuuming both tables
and rewriting the queries using sub-selects :

select count (distinct f.f_id) as results
FROM
fiches f
INNER JOIN (SELECT distinct f_id FROM keywords,engine WHERE engine.k_id
= keywords.k_id AND keyword like 'exploitation%') as e1 USING(f_id)
INNER JOIN (SELECT distinct f_id FROM keywords,engine WHERE engine.k_id
= keywords.k_id AND keyword like 'maintenance%') as e2 USING(f_id)
INNER JOIN (SELECT distinct f_id FROM keywords,engine WHERE engine.k_id
= keywords.k_id AND keyword like 'numerique%') as e3 USING(f_id)

The query time is less than 600 ms, and increases only a little adding
more keywords.

Thanks to Tom Lane and Simon Riggs.
