在數據庫中經常會碰到一些表的列是稀疏列，只有很少的值，例如性別字段，一般就只有2種不同的值。
但是當我們求這些稀疏列的唯一值時，如果表的數據量很大，速度還是會很慢。
例如：
創建測試表
bill=# create table t_sex (sex char(1), otherinfo text);
CREATE TABLE
bill=# insert into t_sex select 'm', generate_series(1,10000000)||'this is test';
INSERT 0 10000000
bill=# insert into t_sex select 'w', generate_series(1,10000000)||'this is test';
INSERT 0 10000000
查詢：
可以看到下面的查詢速度很慢。
bill=# select count(distinct sex) from t_sex;
count
-------
2
(1 row)
Time: 8803.505 ms (00:08.804)
bill=# select sex from t_sex t group by sex;
sex
-----
m
w
(2 rows)
Time: 1026.464 ms (00:01.026)
那么我們對該字段加上索引又是什么情況呢？
速度依然沒有明顯
bill=# create index idx_sex_1 on t_sex(sex);
CREATE INDEX
bill=# select count(distinct sex) from t_sex;
count
-------
2
(1 row)
Time: 8502.460 ms (00:08.502)
bill=# select sex from t_sex t group by sex;
sex
-----
m
w
(2 rows)
Time: 572.353 ms
的變化，可以看到執行計劃已經使用Index Only Scan了。
bill=# explain select count(distinct sex) from t_sex;
QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aggregate (cost=371996.44..371996.45 rows=1 width=8)
-> Index Only Scan using idx_sex_1 on t_sex (cost=0.44..321996.44 rows=20000000 width=2)
(2 rows)
同樣的SQL我們看看在Oracle中性能如何？
創建測試表：
SQL> create table t_sex (sex char(1), otherinfo varchar2(100));
Table created.
SQL> insert into t_sex select 'm', rownum||'this is test' from dual connect by level =10000000;
10000000 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> insert into t_sex select 'w', rownum||'this is test' from dual connect by level =10000000;
10000000 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
性能測試：
SQL> set lines 1000 pages 2000
SQL> set autotrace on
SQL> set timing on
SQL> select count(distinct sex) from t_sex;

可以看到Oracle的性能即使不加索引也明顯比PostgreSQL中要好。
那么我們在PostgreSQL中是不是沒辦法繼續優化了呢？這種情況我們利用pg中的遞歸語句結合索引可以大幅提升性能。
SQL改寫：
bill=# with recursive tmp as (
bill(# (
bill(# select min(t.sex) as sex from t_sex t where t.sex is not null
bill(# )
bill(# union all
bill(# (
bill(# select (select min(t.sex) from t_sex t where t.sex > s.sex and t.sex is not null)
bill(# from tmp s where s.sex is not null
bill(# )
bill(# )
bill-# select count(distinct sex) from tmp;
count
-------
2
(1 row)
Time: 2.711 ms
查看執行計劃：
bill=# explain with recursive tmp as (
bill(# (
bill(# select min(t.sex) as sex from t_sex t where t.sex is not null
bill(# )
bill(# union all
bill(# (
bill(# select (select min(t.sex) from t_sex t where t.sex > s.sex and t.sex is not null)
bill(# from tmp s where s.sex is not null
bill(# )
bill(# )
bill-# select count(distinct sex) from tmp;

可以看到執行時間從原先的8000ms降低到了2ms，提升了幾千倍！
甚至對比Oracle，性能也是提升了很多。
但是需要注意的是：這種寫法僅僅是針對稀疏列，換成數據分布廣泛的字段，顯然性能是下降的, 所以使用遞歸SQL不適合數據分布廣泛的字段的group by或者count(distinct)操作。
