1)  Not that it would make much of a difference in your query aside from
readability, but I believe your box3d setsrid calls are a bit wasteful.
Your expand function will already return an SRIDd box.
 
So you can change
 
l.east_north &&
    setsrid(box3d(expand(PointFromText('POINT(326983.487899314
671898.041182569)',27700),400)),27700)

to
 
l.east_north && expand(PointFromText('POINT(326983.487899314
671898.041182569)',27700),400)
 
Also makepoint is a bit faster than pointfromtext, but since you are
dealing with static points, I guess that is not terribly important.
 
 
2) Why is your expand area larger than your distance check.  You are
going thru probably twice the number of records you need to since your
distance call will never get past the 200 expand mark
 
You should just be doing 
 
l.east_north && expand(PointFromText('POINT(326983.487899314
671898.041182569)',27700),200)
 
Hope that helps,
Regina

Hi guys 


I have a query here that joins about 10 tables tables and uses two
distance queries. Im am having massive performance issues with it and im
hoping you could help me to tune it or change it so that performance is
increased. All of the columns being used for the joins have indexes and
I have performed ANALYZE and VACUUM on each table. The query is as
follows:

SELECT a.service_id, f.service_id, j.service_id, (k.arrival_time -
a.depart_time) AS time
FROM service1 a, service1 e, bus_stops1 c, stop_link d, service1 f,
stop_link h, service1 i, service1 j, service1 k, bus_stops1 l
WHERE c.east_north &&
    setsrid(box3d(expand(PointFromText('POINT(318475
673980)',27700),400)),27700)
AND l.east_north &&
    setsrid(box3d(expand(PointFromText('POINT(326983.487899314
671898.041182569)',27700),400)),27700)
AND distance(PointFromText('POINT(326983.487899314 671898.041182569)',
27700),l.east_north) < 200
AND distance(PointFromText('POINT(318475 673980)', 27700),c.east_north)
< 200
AND a.depart_time BETWEEN '13:50' - interval '5minutes' AND '13:50' +
interval '5 minutes'
AND f.depart_time BETWEEN e.depart_time + interval '3minutes' AND
e.depart_time + interval '13 minutes'
AND j.depart_time BETWEEN i.depart_time + interval '3minutes' AND
i.depart_time + interval '13 minutes'
AND a.stop_reference = c.stop_reference
AND e.service_id = a.service_id
AND d.stop_a = e.stop_reference
AND d.stop_b = f.stop_reference
AND f.service_id = i.service_id
AND h.stop_a = i.stop_reference
AND h.stop_b = j.stop_reference
AND j.service_id = k.service_id
AND k.stop_reference = l.stop_reference
AND a.stop_order < e.stop_order
AND f.stop_order < i.stop_order
AND j.stop_order < k.stop_order
ORDER BY time, a.depart_time
LIMIT 1;


This is the EXPLAIN ANALYZE of this query:

As you can see it is taking entirely too much time for a query of this
size in my opinion. Therefore im assuming I have done something wrong or
could improve it in some way. I would really appreciate your help.

Sincerely
