The intersect function does not utilize indexes

[Regina Obe]

But do the version()  numbers agree?

 

SELECT version();

 

I recall that issue being in PostgreSQL itself.  So a difference in version there might explain things.

 

The other place I’ve see that kind of issue is with foreign tables, but I assume you are not using any of those.

The version installed is 3.4.1, which is already the latest version. I'll navigate upwards from the "Cache Lookup Error" location to identify the cause. 
Since it's a client development version of the database, any scenario could have occurred.
After identifying the cause, I will reply to the email.

I’ve seen that cached lookup error before but can’t recall when.  It might have been a bug in a micro release fixed in a later.

 

Verify that

 

SELECT version();

 

Returns the same or higher version number on your windows system than your Linux.

 

Also make sure

 

SELECT postgis_full_version(); 

 

Doesn’t say you need updates.  If it does make sure to run

 

SELECT postgis_extensions_upgrade();

The executed SQL is very simple, and I executed the command explain (analyze, Buffers, verbose) select a.id <http://a.id>  from random_2point_lines a join t1 b on public.st_intersects(a.geom, b.geom);. 
While printing the planner's data in the PostgreSQL database, I encountered an error message "cache lookup failed for operator family 0."
In a PostgreSQL database, it would calculate the time for sequential scans and index scans to choose the one with minimal time consumption. However, in the customer's development database, there was an error encountered while scanning the index, displaying the mentioned error message.

You have an example query where you are seeing this behavior?

Hello everyone,

 

I have a client with a database developed on PostgreSQL 12, with both Windows and Linux versions. Everything is normal with the Linux version, but there are anomalies with the Windows version.

While the Windows database can have the PostGIS extension installed, create indexes, and execute SQL queries correctly, spatial functions do not utilize indexes, such as intersection and containment.

Here's what I've investigated so far (using the same DDL):
On the Windows system, PostgreSQL 12 is installed along with PostGIS versions 3.3.0 to 3.4.1, and everything works fine. Spatial functions can utilize indexes.
On the Windows system, the client's developed database is installed with PostGIS versions 3.3.0 to 3.4.1. Queries using the && operator utilize indexes, but spatial functions (such as st_intersects and ST_Contains) do not utilize indexes.
Vacuum analyze has been performed, and I've attempted to disable sequential scans and force index scans, but to no avail.
Do you have any good suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Dapeng
