Hi,
I have a query where I do not understand that the rows number that
explain analyze finds differs so much from what explain estimates (3rd
nested loop estimates 1 row but in real it is 4222 rows). I did analyze
the tables (pgsql 7.4.1).
Here is the query:
explain analyze
SELECT fts.val_1, max(fts.val_2) AS val_2
FROM docobjflat AS fts,
boxinfo,
docobjflat AS ftw0,
docobjflat AS ftw, envspec_map
WHERE boxinfo.member=158096693
AND boxinfo.envelope=ftw.envelope
AND boxinfo.community=169964332
AND boxinfo.hide=FALSE
AND ftw0.flatid=ftw.flatid
AND fts.flatid=ftw.flatid
AND fts.docstart=1
AND envspec_map.spec=169964482
AND envspec_map.community=boxinfo.community
AND envspec_map.envelope=boxinfo.envelope
AND ftw0.val_14='IN-A01'
GROUP BY fts.val_1;
Query plan is attached.
Regards Dirk
