Below is the query I'm using :

SELECT osm_id FROM planet_osm_line where ST_DWITHIN((ST_Transform(way,4326)), st_setsrid(ST_Point(9.17193, 48.76768),4326) ,50000)
and time_cost =0.1 limit 100000;

I did Explain, I see that the index on geom column way is not being used.

I've two indexes, on time_cost and way

Below is the trace on Explain:

  Limit  (cost=0.43..245639.85 rows=2975 width=8) (actual time=0.510..1360.168 rows=100000 loops=1)

         Index Cond: (time_cost = '0.1'::double precision)

Hers is the updated trace after adding index as suggested:

    You're not querying on the geometry column, so the geometry index shouldn't be used. Try building a covering index on the cast of the ST_Transfom output to geography, then using explicit casts to geography on the first two ST_DWithin parameters. – Vince Aug 25 '17 at 13:03

Since the way is not used directly, there is little use for an index on it. You can try to add a new index on ST_Transform(way,4326)

  • do I need to Vacuum Analyze after that bcos it is not being used either :( – gameOne Aug 25 '17 at 13:07
  • Yes............ – HeikkiVesanto Aug 25 '17 at 13:35
  • Somehow the performance got worse after adding the above mentioned index – gameOne Aug 25 '17 at 13:38
  • @gameOne show the new query plan.. – Evan Carroll Aug 25 '17 at 23:10
  • @EvanCarroll Edited with new query plan – gameOne Aug 26 '17 at 3:33
