Dears,
Running a query on 2 database-equal, with the same indices, but with
slightly different data, I have a very different result of performance. In
one the index is used to make the join, in another it is seqscan.
The next consultation with explain.
Select a.CodPagador,b.Descricao
From Frete01 a Left Outer Join Frete02 b On (a.CodPagador = b.CodCliente)
explain in database bad:
"Merge Left Join (cost=46619.72..48113.50 rows=58995 width=39) (actual
time=7435.922..8359.063 rows=59161 loops=1)"
" Merge Cond: ("outer".codpagador = "inner".codcliente)"
" -> Sort (cost=24649.80..24797.29 rows=58995 width=11) (actual
