In todays episode of "the DB is slow for unexplainable reasons", we found out that querying
compare_commitcomparison
by bothbase_commit_id
ORcompare_commit_id
is horribly slow. It is using aSeq Scan
in that case for reasons unknown.Splitting that
OR
filter up into two separate queries makes the DB use the appropriate indices, and the queries become instant. We can do this as theOR
filter pretty much takes the union of both queries, which is equivalent of running both queries separately.God only knows why, but here we are.
