PostgreSQL 13支持增量排序(Incremental Sorting)
PostgreSQL 13一个重要的功能是支持增量排序，使用order by 时可以加速排序，SQL如下
select * from test order by a,b limit 10;
如果在字段a上面建立了索引，需要对字段a、b进行排序，如果一个结果已经按几个前导键排序，这就允许对附加的b进行批量排序。
enable_incremental_sort
PostgreSQL新增了配置enable_incremental_sort用于控制是否开启增量排序，此参数默认开启
测试准备
在PostgreSQL 13中创建测试表进行测试
postgres=# create table test(id int,c1 int ,c2 int,info varchar(300),crt_time timestamp);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into test select t,t,2,'test',clock_timestamp() from generate_series(1,1000000)t;
INSERT 0 1000000
postgres=# create index i_test_id on test(id);
CREATE INDEX
--查看数据如下
postgres=# select * from test order by id,c1 limit 10;
id | c1 | c2 | info | crt_time
----+----+----+------+----------------------------
1 | 1 | 2 | test | 2022-06-02 14:23:38.253289
2 | 2 | 2 | test | 2022-06-02 14:23:38.253777

PostgreSQL 13 测试
- 这里我是在pg14中做的测试，pg13这个参数名叫
enable_incrementalsort
postgres=# show enable_incremental_sort;
enable_incremental_sort
-------------------------
on
(1 row)
postgres=# explain analyze select * from test order by id,c1 limit 10;

- 可以看到
Incremental Sort和Presorted Key: id并且走了i_test_id索引，SQL耗时0.265ms
关闭enable_incremental_sort
postgres=# set enable_incremental_sort=off;
SET
postgres=# explain analyze select * from test order by id,c1 limit 10;

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(7 rows)
- 关闭增量排序后SQL耗时
273.023 ms，性能差了几个数量级
PostgreSQL 12 测试
- Abase 7.0基于PostgreSQL 12.3
同样使用上面的建表语句，执行SQL如下
postgres=# explain analyze select * from test order by id,c1 limit 10;
QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Limit (cost=38962.64..38962.67 rows=10 width=536) (actual time=288.847..288.851 rows=10 loops=1)
-> Sort (cost=38962.64..41462.64 rows=1000000 width=536) (actual time=288.839..288.840 rows=10 loops=1)
Sort Key: id, c1

Planning Time: 24.726 ms
Execution Time: 289.135 ms
(7 rows)
PG 12中执行计划和PG 14关闭enable_incremental_sort参数一样，性能较低
当然这只是一个简单的查询，如果包含where，以及连表等情况是否也可以使用 Incremental Sort
带条件
加上c1 > 100000，c1没有创建索引
postgres=# explain analyze select * from test where c1 > 100000 order by id,c1 limit 10;

可以看到即使where条件没有索引，排序字段有索引也可以使用增量排序功能，而且效果也还不错。做了一个过滤操作 Filter: (c1 > 100000)
PG 13 多字段排序
- 根据id，c1，c2进行排序，一样可以走增量排序

PG 13 join
- 复制一张test2
postgres=# create table test2 as select * from test;
SELECT 1000000
postgres=# create index i_test2_id on test2(id);
CREATE INDEX
- join连表查询，并且排序字段test.id，test.c1

join后排序也可以走增量排序，使用增量排序耗时：0.174 ms，而关闭增量后耗时1964.517 ms

join后排序的字段来自不同的表test.id，test2.c1，也可以走增量排序，开启增量耗时：0.230，关闭后耗时：1493.685 ms
来看看一个比较慢的SQL：
- 这个SQL两表关联，而且使用了c2=2这一列全部为2，并且使用offset 100000
postgres=# explain analyze select *from test join test2 on test.id = test2.id where test.c2 = 2 order by test.id,test2.c1 limit 10 offset 100000;

因为增量排序的缘故，查询还是很快
- 如果我们关闭增量排序功能

这个SQL耗时 2530.205 ms，和198.252 ms比增量排序提升还是很明显
但是我们观察到上面的SQL中使用id进行关联，且用id排序的时候查询效率较高，如果排序的字段换成crt_time效果如何?
postgres=# explain analyze select *from test join test2 on test.id = test2.id where test.c2 = 2 order by test.crt_time,test2.c1 limit 10 offset 100000;

当join关联的字段和order by的字段不一样时，虽然order by的字段有索引但也不能走，如果字段一致那么也能利用增量排序。
使用test.crt_time排序和上面关闭增量排序执行计划一样
总结
-
增量排序对于单表多字段排序来说效率还是提升明显
-
join连表查询如果关联的键和排序键一样也能走增量排序，如果不一样则不能走增量排序
