How to make PostgreSQL query faster?
Query Tuning
- Eliminate Sequential Scans (Seq Scan) by adding indexes (unless table size is small)
- If using a multicolumn index, make sure you pay attention to order in which you define the included columns – More info.
- Try to use indexes that are highly selective on commonly-used data.

Which is faster a sequential scan or index in PostGIS?
Now issue a query where you use the geometry operator && to search for a bounding box that matches only very few of those rows. Now the query optimizer sees that the table has only 3 pages and 80 rows. It estimates that a sequential scan on such a small table is much faster than using an index.
Is there a runtime tuning for PostGIS?
Runtime Tuning for PostGIS is much like tuning for any PostgreSQL workload. The only additional note to keep in mind is that geometries and rasters are heavy so memory related optimizations generally have more of an impact on PostGIS than other types of PostgreSQL queries.
Is the slow PostgreSQL query still in effect?
The slow Postgres query is gone. The 0.1% unlucky few who would have been affected by the issue are happy too. Seeing the impact of the change using Datadog allowed us to instantly validate that altering that part of the query was the right thing to do.
Is there a way to improve Postgres database performance?
It still has a very noticeable impact on Postgres performance. Remember that the query is quite simple. It’s a primary key lookup so there aren’t many obvious ways to fix it without dramatically re-architecting the database or the application. We turned to the community for help via the PGSQL-Performance mailing list.
