slow query on multiple table join
hi guys,
I met a query performance issue in postgresql 9.6.2 with multiple tables joined.
[cid:part1.F9606D33.54D41E1B@outlook.com]
there were 2 slow queries,and the reasons were the same:the optimizer generate a bad explain which using nest loop.
attached is the query and its explain.all tables are small and the indexes were only created on primary keys .
in query 1 I noticed the explain forecast the nest loop anti join return 1 row as below,it was the result of (f join p) join pt:

while in analyze explain,it actually returns 57458 row.so higher level nest loop would get 57458*1558 rows,this cause this query runs for more than 40 seconds.

If I disabled nest loop,ti only use 519 ms.
in query 2 ,the nest loop join also process more than 200m rows,it runs almost 2 minutes.After disable nest loop,it use hash join,finished in 1.5 sec.
