Hi

testdb3=# \d csischema.dim_company;
Table "csischema.dim_company"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------
company_id | integer | not null
company_name | character varying(100) |
city | character varying(100) |
state | character varying(100) |
postal_code | character varying(100) |
country | character varying(100) |
latitude | double precision |
longitude | double precision |
update_datetime | timestamp without time zone |
company_source | character varying(1) |
Indexes:
"dim_company_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (company_id)

testdb3=# \d woc.dim_company;
Table "woc.dim_company"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------
company_id | integer | not null
company_name | character varying(100) |
city | character varying(100) |
state | character varying(100) |
postal_code | character varying(100) |
country | character varying(100) |
latitude | double precision |
longitude | double precision |
update_datetime | timestamp without time zone |
company_source | character varying(1) |
Indexes:
"dim_company_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (company_id)

testdb3=# select count(*) from csischema.dim_company;
count
---------
1786376
(1 row)

testdb3=# select count(*) from woc.dim_company;
count
-------
18980
(1 row)

woc.dim_company is a subset of csischema.dim_company meaning all company_id from woc.dim_company are in csischema.dim_company
Ratio is around 1%


SELECT a.company_id FROM csischema.dim_company a, woc.dim_company b
WHERE a.company_id = b.company_id;

testdb3=# explain analyze SELECT a.company_id FROM csischema.dim_company a, woc.dim_company b
testdb3-# WHERE a.company_id = b.company_id;

I was expecting at least the PK of csischema.dim_company to be used . In another DBMS that was the case. The larger table , csischema.dim_company used the PK.

Any hints, thoughts what am I not seing ?

Thank you
Armand
