CREATE VIEW vote_pairs AS
    SELECT
        v1.name as name1,v2.name as name2,...
    FROM votes AS v1
    JOIN votes AS v2
        ON v1.topic_id = v2.topic_id;

并且,在投票表中有大约100k行,跨此视图的查询大约需要3秒钟才能执行.

但是,当我在名称上添加额外的过滤器时：

… ON v1.topic_id = v2.topic_id AND v1.name < v2.name;

运行时间翻了四倍,在vote_pairs上完成查询需要大约12秒.

无论限制的位置如何,此运行时都是一致的…例如,如果将过滤器移动到外部查询的WHERE子句,则查询同样很慢：

SELECT * FROM vote_pairs WHERE name1 < name2;

这是怎么回事？ Postgres的词典比较速度慢吗？这是别的吗？我怎么能提高这个查询的速度？

投票表：

CREATE TABLE votes (
    topic_id INTEGER REFERENCES topics(id),name VARCHAR(64),vote VARCHAR(12)
)
 
CREATE INDEX votes_topic_name ON votes (topic_id,name);
CREATE INDEX votes_name ON votes (name);
