這是關於postgres實際工作方式的更多理論問題。我有四張表,分別是A,B,C和D,分別爲20k,870k,770k和1.5mln。 ID是主鍵,正在對外鍵進行連接(默認爲索引,不允許爲空)。這裏是我的查詢:Postgresql - LEFT OUTER JOIN性能問題

SELECT "A"."id" AS "a", 
    COUNT("B"."id") AS "b_count", 
    COUNT("C"."id") AS "c_count", 
    COUNT("D"."id") AS "d_count" 
FROM "A" 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "B" ON ("A"."id" = "B"."A_id") 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "C" ON ("B"."id" = "C"."B_id") 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "D" ON ("C"."id" = "D"."C_id") 
GROUP BY "A"."id" 

表和查詢是由django框架生成的。由於不知道的原因,它運行了很長時間,服務器崩潰了。但是,如果我將這些LEFT OUTER JOIN中的任何一個更改爲INNER JOIN,則查詢運行時間爲4.2秒。我知道LEFT和INNER JOIN在實踐中是如何工作的,但爲什麼在這種情況下性能差別如此之大?

附加信息: 解釋查詢使用LEFT OUTER JOIN(EXPLAIN(分析一下,緩衝區)不起作用,因爲查詢沒有結束):

和獎金:如果我用稍微修改查詢:

SELECT "A"."id" AS "a", 
    COUNT("B"."id") AS "b_count", 
    COUNT("C"."id") AS "c_count", 
    COUNT("D"."id") AS "d_count" 
FROM "A" 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "B" ON ("A"."id" = "B"."A_id") 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "C" ON ("B"."id" = "C"."B_id") 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "D" ON ("C"."id" = "D"."D_id") 
WHERE "D"."id" < 1500000 -- this is always true 
GROUP BY "A"."id" 

然後它也可以工作,但比使用至少一個INNER JOIN長一點點。這種情況的解釋(分析,緩衝區):

爲什麼原始查詢中斷postgres,而其他兩個工作像一個魅力?

編輯: 即使沒有count()子句,所有查詢的行爲都是相同的。問題僅在於聯接

因爲LEFT JOIN可以將結果集乘以很多,具體取決於表內容。

首先,你的查詢似乎是錯誤的,你也算重複,所以你應該使用COUNT(DISTINCT columnName)

SELECT "A"."id" AS "a", 
    COUNT(distinct "B"."id") AS "b_count", 
    COUNT(distinct "C"."id") AS "c_count", 
    COUNT(distinct "D"."id") AS "d_count" 
FROM "A" 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "B" ON ("A"."id" = "B"."A_id") 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "C" ON ("B"."id" = "C"."B_id") 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "D" ON ("C"."id" = "D"."C_id") 
GROUP BY "A"."id 

其次,考慮增加適當的索引。

A - (id) 
B - (id,A_id) 
C - (id,B_id) 
D - (id,C_id)

DISTINCT因爲這些ID是主鍵在這裏不需要。索引已經存在,因爲JOIN是在外鍵(默認爲索引)上製作的 – PawelRoman

如果'ID'是主鍵,例如'c'表有2個記錄具有相同的'b_id',那麼這並不重要。而表'd'有兩個記錄具有相同的'c_id','C.id'的計數將是4而不是2. @PawelRoman – sagi

你是對的,對不起,我的壞。儘管如此,它並沒有改變我們的觀點。 COUNTs根本就不是問題。如果我們刪除COUNT,則會出現同樣的問題:LEFT JOINS需要很長時間才能完成,而用INNER JOIN替換一個LEFT JOIN可以將查詢執行時間縮短爲5秒。爲什麼?連接正在進行外鍵(空值不允許,使用默認索引) – PawelRoman
