Hello Tom,

The query was logically ok. The main problem was that the VIEW had an ORDER BY clause where cost went up to very high. Indices and unique constraints were minor optimizations.

Conclusio: Don't create ORDER BY in VIEW unless really necessary

Ciao,
Gerhard

Surely this query is just plain broken?  You're forming a cross product
of the relevant log lines with the k1 rows having description =
'Raumsolltemperatur' (I assume this isn't unique, else it's not clear
what the point is) and then the subsequent left join cannot get rid of
anything.  I think probably you meant something different, like

FROM
  log l
LEFT OUTER JOIN log_details d1      ON l.id = d1.fk_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN key_description k1  ON k1.description = 'Raumsolltemperatur' 
AND d1.fk_keyid = k1.keyid
