Generally, the <command>EXPLAIN</command> output will display details for |
|
|
|
|
every plan node which was generated by the query planner. However, there |
|
|
|
|
are cases where the executor is able to determine that certain nodes are |
|
|
|
|
not required; currently, the only node types to support this are the |
|
|
|
|
<literal>Append</literal> and <literal>MergeAppend</literal> nodes. These |
|
|
|
|
node types have the ability to discard subnodes which they are able to |
|
|
|
|
determine won't contain any records required by the query. It is possible |
|
|
|
|
to determine that nodes have been removed in this way by the presence of a |
|
|
|
|
"Subplans Removed" property in the <command>EXPLAIN</command> output. |
|
|
|
|
Normally, <command>EXPLAIN</command> will display every plan node |
|
|
|
|
created by the planner. However, there are cases where the executor |
|
|
|
|
can determine that certain nodes need not be executed because they |
|
|
|
|
cannot produce any rows, based on parameter values that were not |
|
|
|
|
available at planning time. (Currently this can only happen for child |
|
|
|
|
nodes of an Append or MergeAppend node that is scanning a partitioned |
|
|
|
|
table.) When this happens, those plan nodes are omitted from |
|
|
|
|
the <command>EXPLAIN</command> output and a <literal>Subplans |
|
|
|
|
Removed: <replaceable>N</replaceable></literal> annotation appears |
|
|
|
|
instead. |
