<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Hi,<br>
Today, I noticed strange situation:<br>
<br>
The same query run on different servers has very
different plan:<br>
<br>
Q: SELECT b.* FROM kredytob b  WHERE pesel =
'22222222222'  ORDER BY <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://b.id" target="_blank">b.id</a> DESC LIMIT
1 <br>
<br>
Slow plan:<br>
<br>
"Limit  (cost=0.43..28712.33 rows=1 width=4) (actual
time=2574.041..2574.044 rows=1 loops=1)"<br>
"  Output: id"<br>
"  Buffers: shared hit=316132 read=110001"<br>
"  -&gt;  Index Scan Backward using kredytob_pkey on
public.kredytob b  (cost=0.43..3244444.80 rows=113
width=4) (actual time=2574.034..2574.034 rows=1
loops=1)"<br>
"        Output: id"<br>
"        Filter: (b.pesel = '22222222222'::bpchar)"<br>
"        Rows Removed by Filter: 433609"<br>

</div>
<div>here is backward index scan with - lot of rows is
thrown <br>
<br>
Rows Removed by Filter: 433609" <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>probably index definition on these servers are
different<br>
</div>
</div>

<br>
No! That's binary copy of whole database.<br>
Index are the same!<br>
But, when I ask database without "ORDER..."<br>
(SELECT b.id FROM kredytob b  WHERE pesel = '22222222222';)<br>
 then:<br>
<br>
"SLOW"<br>
<br>
"Index Scan using kredytob_pesel_typkred_opclass_idx on
public.kredytob b  (cost=0.43..115349.30 rows=113 width=4) (actual
time=233.767..392.710 rows=5 loops=1)"<br>
"  Output: id"<br>
"  Index Cond: (b.pesel = '22222222222'::bpchar)"<br>
"  Buffers: shared hit=19259"<br>
"Planning time: 0.254 ms"<br>
"Execution time: 392.761 ms"<br>
<br>
"FAST"<br>
<br>
"Index Scan using kredytob_pesel_typkred_opclass_idx on
public.kredytob b  (cost=0.43..115240.10 rows=112 width=4) (actual
time=378.737..836.208 rows=5 loops=1)"<br>
"  Output: id"<br>
"  Index Cond: (b.pesel = '22222222222'::bpchar)"<br>
"  Buffers: shared read=19237"<br>
"Planning time: 0.568 ms"<br>
"Execution time: 836.261 ms"<br>
<br>
So, index is used in both queries but when is "ORDER" then
everything change...<br>
Why?<br>

Data is almost equal - "slow" has a few more rows in
table. ("Fast" is a copy from 1 am today).<br>
Why runtime is slower?<span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font
