Yes, rewriting the query with an IN clause was also my first approach, but I didn't help much.
The Query plan did change a little bit but the performance was not impacted.CREATE INDEX idx_arcstatus_le1 ON schema.logtable ( archivestatus ) where (archivestatus <= 1)ANALYZE schema.logtable

seemingly faster.
After doing a few selects, I reran ANALYZE:

I kept the query, so I didn't rewrite the query to be WITHOUT nulls.
Thank you already for the hint. What else can I do? With the current parameters, the query finishes in about 3.9-5.2 seconds which is already much better but still nowhere near the speeds of 280 ms in oracle.
I would love to get it to at least 1 second.Am Do., 6. Mai 2021 um 20:20 Uhr schrieb Alexey M Boltenkov <padrebolt@yandex.ru>:On 05/06/21 21:15, Alexey M Boltenkov wrote:

Luis R. WeckThe IN statement will probable result in just recheck condition change to entrytype = any('{a,b,c}'::int[]). Looks like dispersion of archivestatus is not enough to use index idx_arcstatus.
Please try to create partial index with condition like (archivestatus <= 1) and rewrite select to use (archivestatus is not null and archivestatus <= 1).
CREATE INDEX idx_arcstatus_le1 ON schema.logtable ( archivestatus ) where (archivestatus <= 1) TABLESPACE tablespace;
I'm sorry, 'archivestatus is not null' is only necessary for index without nulls.
CREATE INDEX idx_arcstatus_le1 ON schema.logtable ( archivestatus ) where (archivestatus is not null and archivestatus <= 1) TABLESPACE tablespace;
