sql - 我怎样才能通过对大表的查询来加快这个计数+分组的速度？

Question

我有一个 Postgres 表，其中包含用户访问我们网站时 Segment.com 创建的 anonymous_id(字符串)和 timestamp(日期时间)列。

有 ~5M 行，~1M 不同的 anonymous_id

我想查询每个月找到的不同 anonymous_id 的数量。

到目前为止我有这个，它可以工作，但是在 PSequel 中超时(我可以运行它几次并限制日期)

SELECT count(1), "month"
FROM (
    SELECT DISTINCT anonymous_id, 
    date_trunc('month', "timestamp") as "month"
    FROM pages
    -- WHERE "timestamp" between '2018-01-01' and '2018-02-01'
) as dt
GROUP BY 2
ORDER BY 2

我在 anonymous_id 和 timestamp 上都有一个索引

当前索引(包括下面 Thorsten Kettner 建议的组合索引)

Indexes:
    "pages_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
    "idx_anonymous_id" btree (anonymous_id)
    "idx_date_trunc_anon_id" btree (date_trunc('month'::text, timezone('UTC'::text, "timestamp")), anonymous_id)
    "idx_path" btree (path)
    "idx_timestamp" btree ("timestamp")
    "idx_url" btree (url)
    "idx_user_id" btree (user_id)
    "pages_activity_type_idx" btree (activity_type)

我唯一能想到的就是摆脱派生表，因为您不需要它:

SELECT count(distinct anonymous_id), date_trunc('month', "timestamp") AS "month"
FROM pages
GROUP BY date_trunc('month', "timestamp")
ORDER BY date_trunc('month', "timestamp");
