[postgis-users] improve query - summarize building count and area on each parcel

[karsten]

Regina,
 
 >>>>  So you had the centroids indexed before you switched to regular join
and that took days too?   I would expect the index on the centroid to make
much more of a difference than the LEFT / INNER JOIN change. 
No at that time I had not the centroids indexed just the polygon boundaries
themselves  ...

number of rows in each table and whether it resorts to a nested vs. hash. 
There have been performance issues in PostgreSQL that cause LEFT to be much
slower than INNER, but I think most of those have been long resolved.

It might be some left over stuff with our poor spatial stats estimates.  >>>

Interesting

That worked perfectly:
Using just join and setting the index on the centroids geom as well

I had the query finish in less than a minute (compared to three day running
and not yet finished !)

 

Does anyone have an explanation why 'regular' join is so much faster than
'left join' ?

 

Cheers

In my "explain tests", made on much smaller tables, I get 500 times smaller
costs only by changing LEFT JOIN to "regular" JOIN.

I prefer doing insert instead of update if we doing all rows update :) so
create New table with new table and copy from old and later drop it you can
go without index and do index later after copy. Postgres update is delete
and insert internally and direct big update will bloat table.

Other thing you can do multi thread if you have 16 core with nothing else
can go 12-14 threads updates which can do portion of your big table easy if
no good criteria can be mod function on PK 

 

Hope this helps .

Hi All,

 

I have two tables,  a parcel (polygon) table and a building (polygon) table
in a PostGIS db. 
There are about 1 million parcels and over a million buildings in these
tables ...

I have set gist indexes on both and clustered each on a geohash, pkey is set
on objectid.

I would like to fill 2 additional columns for the parcels layer to have the
number of building on each parcel (building_count) and the summed up area of
all those building footprints (building_fp).

Below is an update query but it is extremely lengthy and inefficient (on a
beefy 16 core Ubuntu server with 128 GB tons of RAM) : I had to stop an
after running 3 days when it was not finished ...

I am wondering if anyone has an idea how to make it more efficient ?

 

This is the query:

 

UPDATE parcels p SET
building_count = subquery.num,
building_fp = subquery.sumarea
from
(select objectid, count(*) as num, sum(st_area(b.geom)) as sumarea FROM
parcels p
left join buildings b on st_intersects(p.geom,st_centroid(b.geom)) group by
objectid ) subquery
where p.objectid = subquery.objectid ;

 

Any suggestions ?

 

Cheers

Karsten Vennemann
