PostgreSQL的执行计划分析
近期有人提出想查看Postgresql的执行计划，下面分析下PG执行计划中的cost等相关值是怎么计算出来的：PG的版本是9.1.2
1.终端工具PGADMIN,对执行的语句按F7即可，然后看数据输出和解释

2.命令行分析：explain select * from table_name;
一般我们会比较关注消耗值cost和扫描的方式，如走索引或者full scan全表扫描.当COST值消耗比较大时需要注意是否有优化的可能。
与执行计划相关的几个参数，参看下面的示例：51Testing软件测试网R te2`7BE f1P G-B
kenyon=# select count(1) from dba.website ; --普通堆栈表，无任何索引约束 count------- 20(1 row)kenyon=# explain select * from dba.website ; QUERY PLAN -------------------------------------------------------- Seq Scan on website(cost=0.00..1.20 rows=20 width=4)(1 row) --relpages磁盘页，reltuples是行数(与实际不一定相符，一般略小)kenyon=# select relpages,reltuples from pg_class where relname = 'website';relpages | reltuples----------+----------- 1 | 20(1 row)kenyon=# select 1*1+20*0.01; --cost = relpages * seq_page_cost + reltuples * cpu_tuple_cost ?column?---------- 1.20(1 row)kenyon=# show cpu_tuple_cost ; cpu_tuple_cost---------------- 0.01(1 row)kenyon=# show seq_page_cost; seq_page_cost--------------- 1(1 row)--加限制条件的执行计划kenyon=# select count(1) from dba.website where hits >15; count------- 5(1 row)kenyon=# explain select * from dba.website where hits >15; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------- Seq Scan on website(cost=0.00..1.25 rows=5 width=4) Filter: (hits > 15)(2 rows)kenyon=# show cpu_operator_cost ; cpu_operator_cost------------------- 0.0025(1 row)因为扫描的总数是20行，不变的，所以COST不会下降，相反反而增加了0.05，这是因为额外消耗了CPU的时间去检查符合约束条件数据，即cost 在原来的基础上再增加 20 * 0.0025 = 0.05（reltuples * cpu_operator_cost）--加索引的执行计划kenyon=# select count(1) from dba.website_2 ; count-------8000(1 row)kenyon=# explain select * from dba.website_2 ; QUERY PLAN -------------------------------------------------------------- Seq Scan on website_2(cost=0.00..112.00 rows=8000 width=4)(1 row)kenyon=# select relpages,reltuples from pg_class where relname = 'website_2'; relpages | reltuples----------+----------- 32 | 8000(1 row)kenyon=# explain select * from dba.website_2 where hits >7900;--走的索引 QUERY PLAN ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Index Scan using ind_website_2 on website_2(cost=0.00..10.00 rows=100 width=4) Index Cond: (hits > 7900)(2 rows)（）kenyon=# explain select * from dba.website_2 where hits >10; --未走索引（不满足索引条件，full scan） QUERY PLAN -------------------------------------------------------------- Seq Scan on website_2(cost=0.00..132.00 rows=7991 width=4) -- 132 = 112+8000*0.0025 Filter: (hits > 10)(2 rows)虽然读取的COST更大，但是因为索引的缘故，访问的数据量变小了，所以总体COST是下降的。51Testing软件测试网 |,M5IsB;r--多表JOIN的执行计划 示例： 若想看实际的一个执行时间，可以加上 analyze 参数
@0OGzo2p B N0kenyon=# explain analyze select * from dba.website a ,dba.website_2 b where a.hits = b.hits and a.hits >18; QUERY PLAN --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Merge Join (cost=1.26..1.90 rows=2 width=8) (actual time=0.070..0.075 rows=2 loops=1) Merge Cond: (b.hits = a.hits) -> Index Scan using ind_website_2 on website_2 b (cost=0.00..235.25 rows=8000 width=4) (actual time=0.013..0.020 rows=21 loops=1) -> Sort (cost=1.26..1.26 rows=2 width=4) (actual time=0.035..0.037 rows=2 loops=1) Sort Key: a.hits Sort Method: quicksort Memory: 17kB -> Seq Scan on website a (cost=0.00..1.25 rows=2 width=4) (actual time=0.009..0.011 rows=2 loops=1) Filter: (hits > 18) Total runtime : 0.120 ms (9 rows)51Testing软件测试网 Urk[(y1~'Q dtotal runtime 是执行器启动和关闭的时间，但不包括解析，重写和规划的时间
注意： pg_class中的relpages,reltuples数据不是实时更新的，一般在vacuum analyze和少部分DDL（如建立索引）后更新。

pg_stats
pg_statistic
pg_class
pg_stat是任何人都可以看的，而且可读性高，比较直观，pg_statistic只有superuser才能读，并且可读性差，普通人员建议看pg_stats，pg_stats是pg_statistic的视图。 这两个表也不是实时更新的，需要vacuum analyze时会更新

geqo_threshold
