Woops sorry we have indexes on (symbol, source, time) and there is no date column :/ SELECT * FROM article WHERE symbol=12646 AND source = 19 ORDER BY time DESC LIMIT 1000; QUERY PLAN ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Limit (cost=321163.29..321165.79 rows=1000 width=466) (actual time=33243.924..33246.021 rows=1000 loops=1) -> Sort (cost=321163.29..321402.31 rows=95609 width=466) (actual time=33243.917..33244.626 rows=1000 loops=1) Sort Key: "time" -> Seq Scan on article (cost=0.00..301724.00 rows=95609 width=466) (actual time=0.022..32979.685 rows=42959 loops=1) Filter: ((symbol = 12646) AND (source = 19)) Total runtime: 33258.706 ms (6 rows) explain analyze SELECT * FROM article WHERE symbol=12646 AND source = 19; QUERY PLAN ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Seq Scan on article (cost=0.00..301724.00 rows=95609 width=466) (actual time=0.021..33275.433 rows=42959 loops=1) Filter: ((symbol = 12646) AND (source = 19)) Total runtime: 33320.920 ms (3 rows) We can't use CLUSTER because we need the DB up all the time. The analyze suggests that it's the I/O taking most of the time to me. -----Original Message----- From: Alban Hertroys [mailto:alban@magproductions.nl] Sent: 18 March 2005 09:48 To: Alex Stapleton Cc: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Select Last n Rows Matching an Index Condition (and caches) Alex Stapleton wrote: > SELECT * FROM article WHERE symbol=12646 AND source = 19 ORDER BY time DESC > LIMIT 1000; > > To get the latest 1000 rows for that symbol and source. > My (not yet implemented) solution to this problem is to add a SEQUENCE and > index it so that by adding a WHERE id > [max_id]-1000 and ordering by time > DESC will reduce the I/O quite a lot.

First question that always gets asked here: What's the output of explain analyse? Without that, people here can't see where the slowdown is. I expect though, that the problem is the ordering by time. I imagine that you could create an index on time, maybe truncated to months or something similar (You can create indices based on functions). That index alone should speed up the ordering already. It could also be used to cluster the table, which should speed up things some more, I suppose. -- Alban Hertroys MAG Productions T: +31(0)53 4346874 F: +31(0)53 4346876 E: alban@magproductions.nl W: http://www.magproductions.nl
