PostgreSQL利用遞歸優(yōu)化求稀疏列唯一值的方法

更新時(shí)間：2021年01月20日 10:55:52 作者：foucus、

這篇文章主要介紹了PostgreSQL利用遞歸優(yōu)化求稀疏列唯一值的方法,本文給大家介紹的非常詳細(xì)，對大家的學(xué)習(xí)或工作具有一定的參考借鑒價(jià)值，需要的朋友可以參考下

在數(shù)據(jù)庫中經(jīng)常會碰到一些表的列是稀疏列，只有很少的值，例如性別字段，一般就只有2種不同的值。
但是當(dāng)我們求這些稀疏列的唯一值時(shí)，如果表的數(shù)據(jù)量很大，速度還是會很慢。

例如：
創(chuàng)建測試表

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

查詢：
可以看到下面的查詢速度很慢。

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)

那么我們對該字段加上索引又是什么情況呢？

速度依然沒有明顯

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

的變化，可以看到執(zhí)行計(jì)劃已經(jīng)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)

同樣的SQL我們看看在Oracle中性能如何？

創(chuàng)建測試表：

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.

性能測試：

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顯比PostgreSQL中要好。
那么我們在PostgreSQL中是不是沒辦法繼續(xù)優(yōu)化了呢？這種情況我們利用pg中的遞歸語句結(jié)合索引可以大幅提升性能。

SQL改寫：

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

查看執(zhí)行計(jì)劃：

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

可以看到執(zhí)行時(shí)間從原先的8000ms降低到了2ms，提升了幾千倍！

甚至對比Oracle，性能也是提升了很多。

但是需要注意的是：這種寫法僅僅是針對稀疏列，換成數(shù)據(jù)分布廣泛的字段，顯然性能是下降的, 所以使用遞歸SQL不適合數(shù)據(jù)分布廣泛的字段的group by或者count(distinct)操作。
