[postgis-users] Substantial different index use between 9.5 and 9.6 using Postgis

Bill,
I meant to change to
e.geom && ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(longitude,
latitude), 4326)) AND _ST_Contains(e.geom ,ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(longitude,
latitude), 4326))
ST_Contains is just a wrapper for && and _ST_contains. The && part usually gets done first so is broken apart by the planner to push that into the index.
In your case that's not happening for some reason.
Why it's not automatically breaking apart is a bit concerning. Would you be able to provide some sample data that exhibits the problem and file a ticket? http://postgis.net/support/
If it's private data, you can just send to me.
Thanks,
Regina

2 things
First, unfortunately the full query doesn't work as in some cases the subquery returns more than one row. Not sure why, as the geom should be a rectangle (more or less given the projection, but was created from 4 points), but maybe right near the boundary there are issues (on reflection I guess the north/south edges are not quite parallel).
Second - I forgot to complete part of my response. Should have said
Second, you lost me a little with your second suggestion. As I gather _st_contains explicitly avoids the index, so the explain still uses the sequential scan. I assume I'm misunderstanding your suggestion.

Thanks Regina,
First, your first suggestion didn't seem to achieve anything - even the costs in the explain remained the same (1e10).
Second, you lost me a little with your second suggestion. As I gather _st_contains explicitly avoids the index.
Tried
explain SELECT address_default_geocode_pid,
(SELECT elevation FROM m_elevations e WHERE e.geom && ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(longitude, latitude), 4326)),
ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(latitude, longitude), 4283)
FROM address_default_geocode
WHERE latitude = -33.87718472 AND longitude = 151.27544336;
(ie changed WHERE ST_Contains(e.geom, ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(longitude, latitude), 4326)) to WHERE e.geom && ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(longitude, latitude), 4326))
and that seems to have done the trick. Tee explain now uses the index and the actual query seems more or less on par with the version run under 9.5.
Odd though, but thank you very much for the help/solution. Now I'll try the full insert query.
Regards
Bill

I have seen this on rare occasions in past but not recently where the planner doesn't break apart the ST_Contains or ST_Intersects into the component steps.
We made some changes to costing in 2.3.0, but ST_Contains (and _ST_Contains) wasn't one of them so that doesn't quite explain this.
Couple of things to try
1) On the _ST_Contains function in set the cost to something higher like 1000:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION _st_contains(geom1 geometry, geom2 geometry) RETURNS boolean AS
'$libdir/postgis-2.3', 'contains'
LANGUAGE c IMMUTABLE STRICT
COST 1000;
And then try your query again/
2) If Item 1 doesn't work what happens if you explicitly put in && and _ST_Contains
That should force the index to kick in.

This is a post I put on the potgres performance list. They suggested I take it up on the PostGis list
Postgres versions 9.5.4 and 9.6.0 running on Windows Server 2012.
Installed using EnterpriseDB. Both instances are on the same server, postgresql.conf for both are the same except max_locks_per_transaction =
200 in 9.6 (caused insertion errors otherwise).
On 9.5:
geo=# SELECT PostGIS_full_version();
postgis_full_version
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSTGIS="2.2.2 r14797" GEOS="3.5.0-CAPI-1.9.0 r4090" PROJ="Rel. 4.9.1,
04 March 2015" GDAL="GDAL 2.0.2, released 2016/01/26" LIBXML="2.7.8"
LIBJSON="0.12" RASTER
(1 row)
On 9.6:
postgis_full_version
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSTGIS="2.3.0 r15146" GEOS="3.5.0-CAPI-1.9.0 r4090" PROJ="Rel. 4.9.1,
04 March 2015" GDAL="GDAL 2.1.1, released 2016/07/07" LIBXML="2.7.8"
LIBJSON="0.12" RASTER
(1 row)
Databases on the 2 instances are the same (as far as I can tell).
I have 2 relevant tables (created using same script in both instances, except I added an auto increment RID to the 9.6 version as primary key to the larger of the 2 tables - other already had one). One contains a geometry column (geom geometry(1107464) - a polygon) with gist index.
This table has around 10 billion records. The disks these databases on aren't particularly fast, and indexing took about a week.
Second table has latitude (numeric(10, 8)), and longitude (numeric(11,
8)) and about 10 million records.
The query I'm running is (a part of an insertion into a new table I was trying to run)
SELECT address_default_geocode_pid,
(SELECT elevation FROM m_elevations e WHERE ST_Contains(e.geom, ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(longitude, latitude), 4326))),
ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(latitude, longitude), 4283)
FROM address_default_geocode;
Under 9.5 the insertion takes about 11 hours. I gave up on 9.6.
I thought I'd try just one record, so:
SELECT address_default_geocode_pid,
(SELECT elevation FROM m_elevations e WHERE ST_Contains(e.geom, ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(longitude, latitude), 4326))),
ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(latitude, longitude), 4283)
FROM address_default_geocode
WHERE latitude = -33.87718472 AND longitude = 151.27544336;
This returns 3 rows (which is more than the average I'd expect BTW). On
9.5 takes a few seconds (3-5) and again I gave up on 9.6
Looking just at the query shown above, I note a difference in explained behaviour. Here is the output from 9.5:
QUERY PLAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

precision, (address_default_geocode.latitude)::double precision), 4326))
(5 rows)
Interestingly (change is hard coding of coordinates in second line):
explain SELECT address_default_geocode_pid,
(SELECT elevation FROM m_elevations e WHERE ST_Contains(e.geom,
ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(151.27544336, -33.87718472), 4326))),
ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(latitude, longitude), 4283)
FROM address_default_geocode
WHERE latitude = -33.87718472 AND longitude = 151.27544336;
Gives (in 9.6)
QUERY PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on address_default_geocode

151.27544336))
InitPlan 1 (returns $0)

Recheck Cond: (geom ~

'0101000020E610000036E3976ED0E86240B879C29647F040C0'::geometry)
-> Bitmap Index Scan on m_elevations_geom_idx
(cost=0.00..271316.16 rows=10536480 width=0)
Index Cond: (geom ~
'0101000020E610000036E3976ED0E86240B879C29647F040C0'::geometry)
(8 rows)
Which looks better.
So for some reason, 9.6 planner decides not to use the index for a small
number of records returned from address_default_geocode.
I have vacuum analysed both tables.
Clearly a sequential scan on 10 billion records is pretty slow (to say
the least).
Has anyone seen anything like this/got any thoughts?
I tried "set enable_seqscan=false" but didn't seem to have any effect.

Bill
