I noticed that querying for product_attributes @> '{"upsell":["true"]}' is much slower than querying for product_attributes @> '{"upsell": 1}'
Is that expected? I have a gin index on product_attributes. I'm using 9.4.1. explain analyze select count(*) from products where product_attributes @> '{"upsell":["true"]}' and site_id = '1'; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate (cost=1382.92..1382.93 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=410.498..410.499 rows=1 loops=1) -> Bitmap Heap Scan on products (cost=46.94..1382.52 rows=157 width=0) (actual time=31.747..363.145 rows=45165 loops=1) Recheck Cond: (product_attributes @> '{"upsell": ["true"]}'::jsonb) Filter: (site_id = '1'::text) Rows Removed by Filter: 90330 Heap Blocks: exact=12740 -> Bitmap Index Scan on products_attributes_idx (cost=0.00..46.90 rows=386 width=0) (actual time=29.585..29.585 rows=135843 loops=1) Index Cond: (product_attributes @> '{"upsell": ["true"]}'::jsonb) Planning time: 0.851 ms Execution time: 410.825 ms (10 rows) Time: 413.172 ms explain analyze select count(*) from products where product_attributes @> '{"upsell": 1}' and site_id = '1'; QUERY PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate (cost=1382.92..1382.93 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=0.110..0.111 rows=1 loops=1) -> Bitmap Heap Scan on products (cost=46.94..1382.52 rows=157 width=0) (actual time=0.107..0.107 rows=0 loops=1) Recheck Cond: (product_attributes @> '{"upsell": 1}'::jsonb) Filter: (site_id = '1'::text) -> Bitmap Index Scan on products_attributes_idx (cost=0.00..46.90 rows=386 width=0) (actual time=0.105..0.105 rows=0 loops=1) Index Cond: (product_attributes @> '{"upsell": 1}'::jsonb) Planning time: 0.091 ms Execution time: 0.140 ms (8 rows) Time: 1.264 ms
