sql - Postgres pg_trgm GIN 索引在特定连接中被忽略

Question

我有一张 table item具有多个文本字段，例如 name , unique_attr , category等，所有这些我都使用 GIN (gin_trgm_ops) 索引更快地编制索引 ilike查询，实际上，即使连接到表 inventory_membership使用索引并加快执行时间。我的解释的输出:

   explain analyze select i.* from item i 
     join inventory_membership im on im.inventory_id = i.inventory_id
     where i.name ilike '%blu%' or unique_attr ilike '%blu%' or category ilike '%blu%' 
     or brand ilike '%blu%';

                    Index Cond: (unique_attr ~~* '%blu%'::text)

我们可以看到 item_name_idx , item_unique_attr_idx , item_category_idx和 item_brand_idx GIN 索引用于索引条件。伟大的。
但是，当我加入另一个表(只有 inventory 和 id 列的 name 表)时，索引消失了。
解释:

explain analyze select i.* from item i
    join inventory inv on inv.id = i.inventory_id
    join inventory_membership im on im.inventory_id = i.inventory_id
    where i.name ilike '%blu%' or unique_attr ilike '%blu%' or category ilike '%blu%' or brand 
    ilike '%blu%';

Hash Join  (cost=4.67..1172.61 rows=60407 width=478) (actual time=0.775..121.787 rows=57584 loops=1)
  Hash Cond: (inv.id = im.inventory_id)
  ->  Merge Join  (cost=1.49..440.81 rows=4982 width=482) (actual time=0.111..101.857 rows=3340 loops=1)
        Merge Cond: (i.inventory_id = inv.id)
        ->  Index Scan using item_inventory_id_idx on item i  (cost=0.29..13946.60 rows=4982 width=478) (actual time=0.085..99.857 rows=3340 loops=1)
              Filter: ((name ~~* '%blu%'::text) OR (unique_attr ~~* '%blu%'::text) OR (category ~~* '%blu%'::text) OR (brand ~~* '%blu%'::text))

你可以看到 GIN 索引消失了，解释使用的唯一索引是 item_inventory_id_idx - 这是常规的 FK BTREE 索引。
此外，执行时间也超过了屋顶。为什么？

Answer 1

您注意到您最感兴趣的是库存名称，并且库存表中只有 8 行。这 8 行是查询规划器更喜欢 merge join 的原因而不是 hash join ，当两个表都很大时效果更好。合并连接需要 inventory_id在排序列表中(这正是索引的含义)，这意味着它不希望使用您的 GIN 索引，因为它认为那样效率会更低。
现在，没有数据，你可以做几件事，我不知道哪一件会更快。您已经尝试过的第一个方法是在 scalar subquery 中获取库存名称。 :

SELECT i.*, (select name from inventory where id = i.inventory_id) as inventoryName
FROM item i
JOIN inventory_membership im ON im.inventory_id = i.inventory_id
WHERE i.name ilike '%blu%' or unique_attr ilike '%blu%' or category ilike '%blu%' 
     or brand ilike '%blu%';

但这意味着这个 select语句执行 57k 次，每行一次。第二种是使用您拥有的查询，但查看是否更改 i.inventory_id至 inv.id在 inventory_membership改变任何东西。

SELECT i.*, inv.name as inventoryName
FROM item i
JOIN inventory inv ON inv.id = i.inventory_id
JOIN inventory_membership im ON im.inventory_id = inv.id -- <- this changed
WHERE i.name ilike '%blu%' or unique_attr ilike '%blu%' or category ilike '%blu%' 
     or brand ilike '%blu%';

最后，正如 this 中所说的那样问题，您可能会在获取库存名称之前强制执行第一个查询，使用 CTE 或带有 OFFSET 0 的子查询.

WITH my_items AS (
  SELECT i.*
  FROM item i
  JOIN inventory_membership im ON im.inventory_id = i.inventory_id
  WHERE i.name ilike '%blu%' or unique_attr ilike '%blu%' or category ilike '%blu%' 
       or brand ilike '%blu%'
)
SELECT i.*, inv.name as inventoryName
FROM my_items i
JOIN inventory inv ON inv.id = i.inventory_id

或者

SELECT i.*, inv.name as inventoryName
FROM (
  SELECT i.*
  FROM item i
  JOIN inventory_membership im ON im.inventory_id = i.inventory_id
  WHERE i.name ilike '%blu%' or unique_attr ilike '%blu%' or category ilike '%blu%' 
       or brand ilike '%blu%'
  OFFSET 0 -- <- this forces the subquery to be evaluated separate from the rest of the query
) i
JOIN inventory inv ON inv.id = i.inventory_id
