Here goes self-contained test case. I tested it on the 9.1.2, 9.1.1, 9.0.5, 9.0.4, 8.4.7 all of them affected by the problem:
select version(); drop table if exists test1; drop table if exists test2; drop table if exists test3; CREATE TABLE test1 AS SELECT user_id FROM generate_series(1,1000000) AS gs(user_id); CREATE TABLE test2 AS SELECT user_id,user_id AS resume_id FROM generate_series(1,1000000) AS gs(user_id); CREATE TABLE test3 AS SELECT user_id AS resume_id FROM generate_series(1,1000000) AS gs(user_id); create index test1_user_id_key on test1(user_id); create index test2_user_id_key on test2(user_id); create index test2_resume_id_key on test2(resume_id); create index test3_resume_id_key on test3(resume_id); analyze test1; analyze test2; analyze test3; --good EXPLAIN ANALYZE select * from test1 where test1.user_id in (100) and exists ( SELECT * from test2 join test3 using (resume_id) where test2.user_id = test1.user_id ); --bad EXPLAIN ANALYZE select * from test1 where test1.user_id in (100, 101) and exists ( SELECT * from test2 join test3 using (resume_id) where test2.user_id = test1.user_id ); On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 1:00 AM, Alvaro Herrera <alvhe...@commandprompt.com>wrote: > > Excerpts from maxim.boguk's message of mié dic 14 08:09:38 -0300 2011: > > > But once I add second value into IN list plan become completely screwed: > > See here: > > http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/1309918036-sup-4...@alvh.no-ip.org > Perhaps it's a similar problem. > > Maybe you'd get enthused enough to try to fix the problem? > > -- > Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@commandprompt.com> > The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. > PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support > -- Maxim Boguk Senior Postgresql DBA.
