问题是我不断在一个相当简单的查询上进行 seq 扫描，以进行非常简单的设置。我究竟做错了什么？

  • Windows Server 2016 上的 Postgres 11
  • 配置更改完成：constraint_exclusion = partition
  • 单表分区为 200 个子表，每个分区数千万条记录。
  • 有问题的字段的索引（假设一个也被分区）

这是创建语句：

CREATE TABLE A (
    K int NOT NULL,
    X bigint NOT NULL,
    Date timestamp NOT NULL,
    fy smallint NOT NULL,
    fz decimal(18, 8) NOT NULL,
    fw decimal(18, 8) NOT NULL,
    fv decimal(18, 8) NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (K, X)
) PARTITION BY LIST (K);

CREATE TABLE A_1 PARTITION OF A FOR VALUES IN (1);
CREATE TABLE A_2 PARTITION OF A FOR VALUES IN (2);
...
CREATE TABLE A_200 PARTITION OF A FOR VALUES IN (200);
CREATE TABLE A_Default PARTITION OF A DEFAULT;

CREATE INDEX IX_A_Date ON A (Date);

有问题的查询：

SELECT K, MIN(Date), MAX(Date)
FROM A 
GROUP BY K

这总是会进行需要几分钟的序列扫描，而很明显根本不需要表数据，因为日期字段已被索引，我只是要求其 B 树的第一叶和最后一叶。

最初索引是打开的(K, Date)，它很快就向我展示了 Postgres 在我认为它正在使用的任何查询中都不会尊重一个。(Date)其他查询起到了作用，似乎 Postgres 声称自动分区索引。然而，这个特定的简单查询总是用于 seq 扫描。

任何想法表示赞赏！

更新 2只是为了避免未来的评论，如“你应该索引（K，日期）”：

具有两个索引的查询计划完全相同，分析数量相同，甚至缓冲区命中/读取也几乎相同。

enable_partitionwise_aggregate可以通过设置来启用将聚合下推到并行计划中on。

这可能会在一定程度上加快您的查询速度，因为 PostgreSQL 不必在并行工作人员之间传递如此多的数据。

但看起来 PostgreSQL 还不够聪明，无法确定它可以使用索引来加速每个分区min，max尽管它足够聪明，可以使用非分区表来做到这一点。

没有很好的解决方法。您可以求助于查询每个分区：

SELECT k, min(min_date), max(max_date)
FROM (
   SELECT 1 AS k, MIN(date) AS min_date, MAX(date) AS max_date FROM a_1
   UNION ALL
   SELECT 2, MIN(date), MAX(date) FROM a_2
   UNION ALL
   ...
   SELECT 200, MIN(date), MAX(date) FROM a_200
   UNION ALL
   SELECT k, MIN(date), MAX(date) FROM a_default
) AS all_a
GROUP BY k;

呸！这里显然有改进的余地。

我深入研究了代码，并在以下位置找到了原因src/backend/optimizer/plan/planagg.c：

/*
 * preprocess_minmax_aggregates - preprocess MIN/MAX aggregates
 *
 * Check to see whether the query contains MIN/MAX aggregate functions that
 * might be optimizable via indexscans.  If it does, and all the aggregates
 * are potentially optimizable, then create a MinMaxAggPath and add it to
 * the (UPPERREL_GROUP_AGG, NULL) upperrel.
[...]
 */
void
preprocess_minmax_aggregates(PlannerInfo *root, List *tlist)
{
[...]                                                                                
    /*
     * Reject unoptimizable cases.
     *
     * We don't handle GROUP BY or windowing, because our current
     * implementations of grouping require looking at all the rows anyway, and
     * so there's not much point in optimizing MIN/MAX.
     */
    if (parse->groupClause || list_length(parse->groupingSets) > 1 ||
        parse->hasWindowFuncs)
        return;

基本上，PostgreSQL 在看到一个GROUP BY子句时就会下注。
