PostgreSQL利用递归优化求稀疏列唯一值的方法

2022-03-31 09:44 · 头闻号数据库

在数据库中经常会碰到一些表的列是稀疏列,只有很少的值,例如性别字段,一般就只有2种不同的值。

但是当我们求这些稀疏列的唯一值时,如果表的数据量很大,速度还是会很慢。

例如:

创建测试表

bill=# create table t_sex (sex char(1), otherinfo text);
CREATE TABLE
bill=# insert into t_sex select 'm', generate_series(1,10000000)||'this is test';
INSERT 0 10000000
bill=# insert into t_sex select 'w', generate_series(1,10000000)||'this is test';
INSERT 0 10000000

 

查询:

可以看到下面的查询速度很慢。

bill=# select count(distinct sex) from t_sex;
 count
-------
   2
(1 row)

Time: 8803.505 ms (00:08.804)
bill=# select sex from t_sex t group by sex;
 sex
-----
 m
 w
(2 rows)

Time: 1026.464 ms (00:01.026)

 

那么我们对该字段加上索引又是什么情况呢?

速度依然没有明显

bill=# create index idx_sex_1 on t_sex(sex);
CREATE INDEX
bill=# select count(distinct sex) from t_sex;
 count
-------
   2
(1 row)

Time: 8502.460 ms (00:08.502)
bill=# select sex from t_sex t group by sex;
 sex
-----
 m
 w
(2 rows)

Time: 572.353 ms

 

的变化,可以看到执行计划已经使用Index only Scan了。

bill=# explain select count(distinct sex) from t_sex;
                     QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Aggregate (cost=371996.44..371996.45 rows=1 width=8)
  -> Index only Scan using idx_sex_1 on t_sex (cost=0.44..321996.44 rows=20000000 width=2)
(2 rows)

 

同样的SQL我们看看在Oracle中性能如何?

创建测试表:

SQL> create table t_sex (sex char(1), otherinfo varchar2(100));

Table created.

SQL> insert into t_sex select 'm', rownum||'this is test' from dual connect by level <=10000000;

10000000 rows created.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> insert into t_sex select 'w', rownum||'this is test' from dual connect by level <=10000000;

10000000 rows created.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

 

性能测试:

SQL> set lines 1000 pages 2000
SQL> set autotrace on
SQL> set timing on

SQL> select count(distinct sex) from t_sex;

可以看到Oracle的性能即使不加索引也明显比PostgreSQL中要好。

那么我们在PostgreSQL中是不是没办法继续优化了呢?这种情况我们利用pg中的递归语句结合索引可以大幅提升性能。

SQL改写:

bill=# with recursive tmp as (
bill(#  (
bill(#   select min(t.sex) as sex from t_sex t where t.sex is not null
bill(#  )
bill(#  union all
bill(#  (
bill(#   select (select min(t.sex) from t_sex t where t.sex > s.sex and t.sex is not null)
bill(#    from tmp s where s.sex is not null
bill(#  )
bill(# )
bill-# select count(distinct sex) from tmp;
 count
-------
   2
(1 row)

Time: 2.711 ms

 

查看执行计划:

bill=# explain with recursive tmp as (
bill(#  (
bill(#   select min(t.sex) as sex from t_sex t where t.sex is not null
bill(#  )
bill(#  union all
bill(#  (
bill(#   select (select min(t.sex) from t_sex t where t.sex > s.sex and t.sex is not null)
bill(#    from tmp s where s.sex is not null
bill(#  )
bill(# )
bill-# select count(distinct sex) from tmp;
                           QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Aggregate (cost=53.62..53.63 rows=1 width=8)
  CTE tmp
   -> Recursive Union (cost=0.46..51.35 rows=101 width=32)
      -> Result (cost=0.46..0.47 rows=1 width=32)
         InitPlan 3 (returns $1)
          -> Limit (cost=0.44..0.46 rows=1 width=2)
             -> Index only Scan using idx_sex_1 on t_sex t (cost=0.44..371996.44 rows=20000000 width=2)
                Index Cond: (sex IS NOT NULL)
      -> WorkTable Scan on tmp s (cost=0.00..4.89 rows=10 width=32)
         Filter: (sex IS NOT NULL)
  -> CTE Scan on tmp (cost=0.00..2.02 rows=101 width=32)
(11 rows)

Time: 1.371 ms

可以看到执行时间从原先的8000ms降低到了2ms,提升了几千倍!

甚至对比Oracle,性能也是提升了很多。

但是需要注意的是:这种写法仅仅是针对稀疏列,换成数据分布广泛的字段,显然性能是下降的, 所以使用递归SQL不适合数据分布广泛的字段的group by或者count(distinct)操作。
