This might be generally useful, but I've been looking at it as it offers a way to try and improve query performance when you want to select all the derivations related to the packages for a revision. The data looks like this (for a specified system and target): ┌───────┬───────┐ │ level │ count │ ├───────┼───────┤ │ 15 │ 2 │ │ 14 │ 3 │ │ 13 │ 3 │ │ 12 │ 3 │ │ 11 │ 14 │ │ 10 │ 25 │ │ 9 │ 44 │ │ 8 │ 91 │ │ 7 │ 1084 │ │ 6 │ 311 │ │ 5 │ 432 │ │ 4 │ 515 │ │ 3 │ 548 │ │ 2 │ 2201 │ │ 1 │ 21162 │ │ 0 │ 22310 │ └───────┴───────┘ Level 0 reflects the number of packages. Level 1 is similar as you have all the derivations for the package origins. The remaining levels contain less packages since it's mostly just derivations involved in bootstrapping. When using a recursive CTE to collect all the derivations, PostgreSQL assumes that the each derivation has the same number of inputs, and this leads to a large overestimation of the number of derivations per a revision. This in turn can lead to PostgreSQL picking a slower way of running the query. When it's known how many new derivations you should see at each level, it's possible to inform PostgreSQL this by using LIMIT's at various points in the query. This reassures the query planner that it's not going to be handling lots of rows and helps it make better decisions about how to execute the query. |
