为啥过滤时使用相同的字段会导致不同的执行时间？ （不同的索引用法）

【中文标题】为啥过滤时使用相同的字段会导致不同的执行时间？ （不同的索引用法）

【英文标题】：Why using same field when filtering cause different execution time? (different index usage)为什么过滤时使用相同的字段会导致不同的执行时间？ （不同的索引用法）

【问题描述】：

当我通过agreement_id 运行查询和过滤时，速度很慢， 但是当我通过别名id 过滤时，它很快。 （查看查询末尾）

为什么过滤时使用相同的字段会导致执行时间不同？

链接到explain analyze：

slow1, slow2fast1, fast2

差异从 #20 开始：使用不同索引的地方：Index Cond: (o.sys_period @> sys_time()) VS Index Cond: (o.agreement_id = 38)

附言。如果我能联系到这个功能的开发者就好了（我还有一个类似的问题）

UPD 我做了一些实验。当我从查询中删除窗口函数时，无论如何它都能快速运行。那么为什么窗口函数在某些情况下会停止使用索引？如何逃避/解决这个问题？

【参考方案1】：

作为问题解决方法，我们还可以为SELECT 表达式中使用的列添加别名PARTITION BY。然后 PG 应用优化并使用索引。

问题的答案可能是：如果使用复合类型，PG 不会应用优化。注意它的工作原理：

PARTITION | FILTER | IS USED?
------------------------------
ALIAS     | ORIG   | NO
ALIAS     | ALIAS  | YES
ORIG      | ALIAS  | NO
ORIG      | ORIG   | NO
