UNION of SELECT/WHERE is faster than WHERE on UNION · 01c6323dToon Claes authored
Instead of applying WHERE on a UNION, apply the WHERE on each of the seperate SELECT statements, and do UNION on that. Local tests with about 2_000_000 projects: - 1_500_000 private projects - 40_000 internal projects - 400_000 public projects For the API endpoint `/api/v4/projects?visibility=private` the slowest query was: ```sql SELECT "projects".* FROM "projects" WHERE ... ``` The original query took 1073.8ms. The query refactored to UNION of SELECT/WHERE took 2.3ms. The original query was: ```sql SELECT "projects".* FROM "projects" WHERE "projects"."pending_delete" = $1 AND (projects.id IN (SELECT "projects"."id" FROM "projects" INNER JOIN "project_authorizations" ON "projects"."id" = "project_authorizations"."project_id" WHERE "projects"."pending_delete" = 'f' AND "project_authorizations"."user_id" = 23 UNION SELECT "projects"."id" FROM "projects" WHERE "projects"."visibility_level" IN (20, 10))) AND "projects"."visibility_level" = $2 AND "projects"."archived" = $3 ORDER BY "projects"."created_at" DESC LIMIT 20 OFFSET 0 [["pending_delete", "f"], ["visibility_level", 0], ["archived", "f"]] ``` The refactored query: ```sql SELECT "projects".* FROM "projects" WHERE "projects"."pending_delete" = $1 AND (projects.id IN (SELECT "projects"."id" FROM "projects" INNER JOIN "project_authorizations" ON "projects"."id" = "project_authorizations"."project_id" WHERE "projects"."pending_delete" = 'f' AND "project_authorizations"."user_id" = 23 AND "projects"."visibility_level" = 0 AND "projects"."archived" = 'f' UNION SELECT "projects"."id" FROM "projects" WHERE "projects"."visibility_level" IN (20, 10) AND "projects"."visibility_level" = 0 AND "projects"."archived" = 'f')) ORDER BY "projects"."created_at" DESC LIMIT 20 OFFSET 0 [["pending_delete", "f"]] ```
