如何强制SQL走性能更优的hash join

通常nestloop join的复杂度是O(N方)，hash join时间复杂度是O(N)，所以我们一般倾向于使用hash join。

 

在SQL脚本调优过程中通常有两种方式，强制走hash join方式：

2. 在SQL中通过 /*+ hashjoin(a b) */ 方式，让a和b表走hash join;

 

CREATE DATABASE test_td WITH DBCOMPATIBILITY='td';

create table dim_day(day_code char(8));
create table dwr_rpo as select current_date - 1 as day_code; --返回了date类型

test_td=# d+ dwr_rpo
                       Table "public.dwr_rpo"
  Column  | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description

        Join Filter: ((c.day_code)::timestamp without time zone = a.day_code)

可是，以上SQL无论用哪种方式都走不上hash join。我们需要看一下，join两端的数据类型是否支持hash比较。

 

 

1. 为什么有时候无法走执行性能更优的hashjoin

 

2. 为什么hashjoin秒级，nestloop需要两个小时

所以两种方式性能差距很大。

 

3. 为什么有类型转换，还不能hash join

4. 都哪些数据类型间的join不支持hash?

select oprname,oprkind,oprcanhash,
  (select typname from pg_type where oid=oprleft) oprleft,
  (select typname from pg_type where oid=oprright) oprright 
from pg_operator 
where oprname='=' and oprcanhash='f';

 oprname | oprkind | oprcanhash |    oprleft    |   oprright    
---------+---------+------------+---------------+---------------

 =       | b       | f          | date          | timestamp
 =       | b       | f          | date          | timestamptz
 =       | b       | f          | timestamp     | date
 =       | b       | f          | timestamptz   | date
 =       | b       | f          | timestamp     | timestamptz
 =       | b       | f          | timestamptz   | timestamp
 =       | b       | f          | tsvector      | tsvector
 =       | b       | f          | tsquery       | tsquery
 =       | b       | f          | record        | record
 =       | b       | f          | hll           | hll
 =       | b       | f          | hll_hashval   | hll_hashval
 =       | b       | f          | roaringbitmap | roaringbitmap
(24 rows)

 

主要是timestamp, timestamptz, date间互相join是无法走hash。其它数据类型不常见。

 

开发建议：join两端的数据类型尽量一致或互相兼容。

 

5. 为什么 oracle 兼容模式没有问题，td兼容模式有问题？

current_date 在Oracle兼容模式下为timestamp类型；
