本文分享自华为云社区《【调优实践】SQL改写消除相关子查询》,作者: 门前一棵葡萄树 。

一、子查询

GaussDB(DWS)根据子查询在SQL语句中的位置把子查询分成了子查询、子链接两种形式。

  • 子查询SubQuery:对应于查询解析树中的范围表RangeTblEntry,更通俗一些指的是出现在FROM语句后面的独立的SELECT语句。
  • 子链接SubLink:对应于查询解析树中的表达式,更通俗一些指的是出现在where/on子句、targetlist里面的语句。

1.1 非相关子查询

子查询的执行不依赖于外层父查询的任何属性值。这样子查询具有独立性,可独自求解,形成一个子查询计划先于外层的查询求解。示例:

select t1.c1,t1.c2from t1where t1.c1 in (    select c2    from t2    where t2.c2 IN (2,3,4));

1.2 相关子查询

子查询的执行依赖于外层父查询的一些属性值(如下列示例t2.c1 = t1.c1条件中的t1.c1)作为内层查询的一个AND-ed条件。这样的子查询不具备独立性,需要和外层查询按分组进行求解。

select t1.c1,t1.c2from t1where t1.c1 in (    select c2    from t2    where t2.c1 = t1.c1 AND t2.c2 in (2,3,4));

二、调优实战2.1 案例:

UPDATE t1SET (c1,c2)=(SELECT COALESCE(t2.c1, t1.c2),c2 FROM t2 WHERE t1.i1 = t2.i1  -- 相关标量子查询);

其中子查询SELECT COALESCE(t2.c1, t1.c2),c2 FROM t2 WHERE t1.i1 = t2.i1 依赖于外层父查询的t1表,因此属于相关子查询。执行计划:

                                                                           QUERY PLAN----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  id |                   operation                   |     A-time     | A-rows | E-rows | E-distinct |  Peak Memory   | E-memory | A-width | E-width | E-costs ----+-----------------------------------------------+----------------+--------+--------+------------+----------------+----------+---------+---------+---------   1 | ->  Streaming (type: GATHER)                  | 8.998          |      0 |      1 |            | 24KB           |          |         |      17 | 9.83   2 |    ->  Update on public.t1                    | [0.086, 0.096] |      2 |      2 |            | [308KB, 308KB] |          |         |      17 | 9.74   3 |       ->  Seq Scan on public.t1               | [0.058, 0.074] |      2 |      2 |            | [32KB, 32KB]   | 1MB      |         |      17 | 3.73   4 |          ->  Result  [3, SubPlan 1]           | [0.033, 0.034] |      2 |     10 |            | [16KB, 16KB]   | 1MB      |         |       6 | 1.36   5 |             ->  Materialize                   | [4.167, 4.458] |     20 |     10 |            | [16KB, 16KB]   | 16MB     | [24,24] |       6 | 1.36   6 |                ->  Streaming(type: BROADCAST) | [4.105, 4.406] |     10 |     10 |            | [48KB, 48KB]   | 2MB      |         |       6 | 1.33   7 |                   ->  Seq Scan on public.t2   | [0.013, 0.013] |      5 |      5 |            | [32KB, 32KB]   | 1MB      |         |       6 | 1.02   8 |          ->  Result  [3, SubPlan 2]           | [0.006, 0.021] |      2 |     10 |            | [16KB, 16KB]   | 1MB      |         |       6 | 1.36   9 |             ->  Materialize                   | [0.055, 0.061] |     20 |     10 |            | [16KB, 16KB]   | 16MB     | [24,24] |       6 | 1.36  10 |                ->  Streaming(type: BROADCAST) | [0.034, 0.040] |     10 |     10 |            | [48KB, 48KB]   | 2MB      |         |       6 | 1.33  11 |                   ->  Seq Scan on public.t2   | [0.005, 0.009] |      5 |      5 |            | [32KB, 32KB]   | 1MB      |         |       6 | 1.02

2.2 子查询消除

改写策略就是解除子查询与父查询依赖关系,改写方案参考:

UPDATE t1SET (c1,c2)=(t3.c1,t3.c2)FROM (SELECT t2.i1,COALESCE(t2.c1, t1.c2) c1,t2.c2 FROM t1,t2 WHERE t1.i1 = t2.i1)t3WHERE t1.i1 = t3.i1;

改写后,子查询独立,不再依赖父查询中元素。执行计划:
