Re: [GENERAL] Queries are taking way longer in 9.6 than 9.5

Hi,

after looking at the explain plans again, I very much doubt those come
from the same query. The reason is the 9.5 plan contains this part:

     ->  HashAggregate  (cost=67.54..68.12 rows=192 width=4)
           Group Key: d.vip_patient_id
           ->  Nested Loop  (cost=0.17..67.44 rows=192 width=4)
                 ->  Index Scan using unq_user_name on tblcnaccounts ...
                       Index Cond: ((user_name)::text = 'dddddd'::text)
                 ->  Index Only Scan using idx_tblcndoctorpatientmap ...
                       Index Cond: (master_user_id = a.master_user_id)

while the 9.6 plan does not include anything like that, i.e. there's
only a single aggregate at the top level, without any group keys. Also,
the SQL query you've provided does not include any GROUP BY clause, so I
claim that those plans are from two different queries.

regards
Tomas
