Hi, I found $SUBJECT while trying to test parallel queries. Is this a bug?
In not parallel mode, EXPLAIN ANALYZE reports the information about Sort Method as follows. =# EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM pgbench_accounts ORDER BY bid; QUERY PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sort (cost=180739.34..183239.34 rows=1000000 width=97) (actual time=1501.342..1836.057 rows=1000000 loops=1) Sort Key: bid Sort Method: external sort Disk: 104600kB -> Seq Scan on pgbench_accounts (cost=0.00..26394.00 rows=1000000 width=97) (actual time=0.013..179.315 rows=1000000 loops=1) However, in parallel mode, it's not reported, as follows. =# SET force_parallel_mode TO on; =# EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM pgbench_accounts ORDER BY bid; QUERY PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gather (cost=181739.34..284239.34 rows=1000000 width=97) (actual time=1507.138..2394.028 rows=1000000 loops=1) Workers Planned: 1 Workers Launched: 1 Single Copy: true -> Sort (cost=180739.34..183239.34 rows=1000000 width=97) (actual time=1503.112..1901.117 rows=1000000 loops=1) Sort Key: bid -> Seq Scan on pgbench_accounts (cost=0.00..26394.00 rows=1000000 width=97) (actual time=0.021..181.079 rows=1000000 loops=1) Regards, -- Fujii Masao -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
