带有空子查询的Postgresql OR条件

如何优化WHERE条件包括检查user_id = X OR user_id IN的查询(某些子查询可能不返回任何结果)

在我的下面的示例中,查询1和2都非常快(<1 ms),但查询3(它只是查询1和2中条件的OR)要慢得多(50 ms)

有人可以解释为什么查询3这么慢,一般来说我应该采用什么类型的查询优化策略来避免这个问题?我意识到我的例子中的子查询很容易被消除,但在现实生活中,有时子查询似乎是获取我想要的数据最简单的方法。

CREATE INDEX index_users ON users (login);

-- queries:

-- query 1, fast:
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM posts WHERE created_by_id = 123 LIMIT 100;

-- query 2, fast:
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM posts WHERE created_by_id IN (SELECT id FROM users WHERE login = 'nobodyhasthislogin') LIMIT 100;

-- query 3, slow:
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM posts WHERE created_by_id = 123 OR created_by_id IN (SELECT id FROM users WHERE login = 'nobodyhasthislogin') LIMIT 100;

拆分查询(已编辑):

SELECT * FROM (
    SELECT * FROM posts p WHERE p.created_by_id = 123 
    union    
    SELECT * FROM posts p
    WHERE 
      EXISTS ( SELECT TRUE FROM users WHERE id = p.created_by_id AND login = 'nobodyhasthislogin')
  ) p
  LIMIT 100;

此特定查询中的大多数时间与索引扫描有关。这是一个从不同角度来看的问题,以避免这种情况,但应该返回相同的结果。

SELECT posts.* FROM users JOIN posts on posts.created_by_id=users.id WHERE users.id=123 or login='nobodyhasthislogin'

这将从users表中选择,执行一次过滤,然后将帖子加入到该表中。

我意识到问题是关于优化的提示,而不是这个特定的查询。要回答这个问题,我的建议是运行EXPLAIN ANALYZE并阅读解释结果, - this回答对我有帮助。

怎么样:

EXPLAIN ANALYZE
SELECT  * 
FROM    posts
WHERE   created_by_id IN (
           SELECT 123
           UNION ALL
           SELECT id FROM
           users  WHERE
           login  = 'nobodyhasthislogin') LIMIT 100;
