Hi Birgit, Thanks very much. I'm not familiar with the "with" clause but will look into that. There are also indices on startts and z.uuid ( time range condition is ok, since these are timestamps and not days).
I am also finding that a cause of slowness was due to the OR condition: ST_intersects(t.startloc, z.geom) or ST_intersects(t.endloc, z.geom) Splitting up the query into two unions, one using a where on ST_intersects(t.startloc, z.geom) and the second on ST_intersects(t.endloc, z.geom), but your suggestion would get me closer to what I wanted in the final output. Best, Trang From: postgis-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:postgis-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Birgit Laggner Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2015 12:20 AM To: postgis-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [postgis-users] Question on optimizing slow geospatial query Hi Trang, I think, it could help to create btree indices on "startts" and "uuid", too, since you are using them in your where clause as a filter (a probably unnecessary question regarding your date filter: I would expect the result of "t.startts > '2015-01-16' and t.startts < '2015-01-17'" to be null because there are no days between the 16th and the 17th of january - but perhaps it was only an example...). And in general, my suggestion would be to reduce the use of st_intersects to the necessary mimimum. You could use the with clause for the filtration of your input data and afterwards double join the two tables first on the startloc and second on the endloc for the assignment of the origin and the destination zone. Then group by origin and destination zones while counting your trips and you should have your end result. Here is how I would imagine the query: with t as (select trip_id, startloc, endloc from od1.trip_v1 where startts between 'minimum start date' and 'maximum start date'), z as (select zone from od1.taz where uuid in ('kansas_303', 'kansas_601', 'kansas_603', etc)) select count(t.trip_id) as number_of_trips, orig.zone as orig_zone, dest.zone as dest_zone from t left join z as orig on st_intersects(t.startloc, z.geom) left join z as dest on st_intersects(t.endloc, z.geom) group by orig.zone, dest.zone; However, I am not sure about how the gist indices work together with the subselects of the with clause... Hope this helps, Birgit. Am 11.02.2015 um 08:19 schrieb Trang Nguyen: Hi, I am a newbie to Postgres/PostGIS and have a long running query that I would like to optimize. There are two tables (trip and zone) that I am joining in the query, one which has "startloc" and "endloc" columns with type Geometry(Point) and other which contains a Geometry(MultiPolygon). There are GIST indexes on all above columns: CREATE TABLE od1.trip_v1 ( pkey bigint NOT NULL, trip_id character varying, startts timestamp without time zone, endts timestamp without time zone, startloc geometry(Point), endloc geometry(Point), ... ) CREATE TABLE od1.taz ( uuid character varying NOT NULL, zone character varying NOT NULL, createdts timestamp without time zone NOT NULL, updatedts timestamp without time zone NOT NULL, geom geometry(MultiPolygon) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT taz_pkey PRIMARY KEY (uuid) ) I'm interested in building a matrix that, for a given set of input zones, returns trips along with their start and end zones. Output looks like: 10 trips that start at Zone A, ends at Zone B 2 trips that start at Zone A, ends at Zone C 9 trips that start at Zone A, ends at other 13 trips that start at Zone C, ends at Zone D Since I am dealing with a large dataset (> 24 million records and growing), I was planning on writing a query that returns the trips grouped by each zone along with match condition (start, end or both) and doing aggregation on the client layer. I'm not sure whether this is the best approach but I expect that otherwise, I would end up having to write a very complex query to handle that type of aggregation. Even so, the current query is very slow with very high cost: SELECT t.trip_id, case when ST_intersects(t.startloc, z.geom) and ST_intersects(t.endloc, z.geom) then 'orig-dest' when ST_intersects(t.startloc, z.geom) then 'orig' when ST_intersects(t.endloc, z.geom) then 'dest' else 'none' end as match_cond, z.zone from od1.trip_v1 t, od1.taz z where t.startts > '2015-01-16' and t.startts < '2015-01-17' and z.uuid in ('kansas_303', 'kansas_601', 'kansas_603', etc) and ST_intersects(t.startloc, z.geom) or ST_intersects(t.endloc, z.geom) group by z.zone, t.trip_id, match_cond; Explain plan: "Group (cost=231446695055.73..245971533247.59 rows=14240037443 width=3498)" " -> Sort (cost=231446695055.73..231482295149.34 rows=14240037443 width=3498)" " Sort Key: z.zone, t.trip_id, (CASE WHEN ((t.startloc && z.geom) AND _st_intersects(t.startloc, z.geom) AND (t.endloc && z.geom) AND _st_intersects(t.endloc, z.geom)) THEN 'orig-dest'::text WHEN ((t.startloc && z.geom) AND _st_intersects(t.startloc, (...)"

Also, I currently don't have a specific map projection defined on the geom columns so they are using the default of 0 in postgis. The points in both trip and zone geometries are lon/lat. Is this an issue for the ST_intersect?
