PolarDB:Performance metrics

Last Updated:Sep 17, 2025

The In-Memory Column Index (IMCI) significantly accelerates complex SQL query operations. It can improve query performance by more than 50 times compared to the row store engine. This topic uses data tables and SQL statements from the TPC-H benchmark to demonstrate the advantages of IMCI.

Note

The TPC-H performance test described in this topic is implemented based on the TPC-H benchmark test but cannot meet all requirements of the TPC-H benchmark test. Therefore, the test results cannot be compared with the published results of the TPC-H benchmark test.

Test description

TPC-H is a commonly used performance benchmark developed and released by the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) to evaluate the analytical capabilities of databases. The dataset for this IMCI query test includes 8 data tables. The test executes 22 complex SQL queries that involve operations such as single-table statistics, multi-table joins, subqueries, aggregations, and sorting.

  • Test data size: 100 GB.

  • Test environment:

    • ECS:

      • Instance type: 16-core 32 GB (ecs.c5.4xlarge), with more than 150 GB of attached disk space.

      • Image: Alibaba Cloud Linux 3.2104 LTS 64-bit.

    • PolarDB for PostgreSQL cluster:

      • Database engine: PostgreSQL 14, with minor engine version 14.10.20.0 or later.

      • Edition: Enterprise Edition.

      • Series: Dedicated.

      • Specifications: 32-core 256 GB.

    Note

    Make sure that the ECS instance and the PolarDB cluster are in the same virtual private cloud (VPC).

Data preparation

  1. On the PolarDB for PostgreSQL cluster, create a privileged account and create the test database tpchdb.

  2. Log on to the ECS instance and prepare the test data.

    1. Download the TPC-H tool dbgen.tar.gz, upload it to the ECS instance, and then decompress and compile it.

      --- Decompress the package
      tar -zxvf dbgen.tar.gz
      --- Compile the code
      cd ./dbgen
      make -f makefile.suite
    2. Use the TPC-H tool to generate 100 GB of test data. This operation takes about 30 minutes.

      --- Change the directory to dbgen
      ./dbgen -s 100 -f
  3. On the ECS instance, use the database connection tool provided by PolarDB (PolarDB-Tools) to connect to your cluster and import the test data into the tpchdb test database.

    1. Confirm that you are in the dbgen directory. The expected output is /<installation_path>/dbgen.

      --- Confirm the current directory
      pwd
    2. Use PolarDB-Tools to connect to the cluster from the command line.

      /u01/polardb_pg_tools/bin/psql  -h <cluster_endpoint> -p <port_for_cluster_endpoint> -U <privileged_account> -d tpchdb
    3. Import the test data.

      \i ./dss.ddl
      \copy part from ./part.tbl with delimiter as '|' NULL '';
      \copy region from ./region.tbl with delimiter as '|' NULL '';
      \copy nation from ./nation.tbl with delimiter as '|' NULL '';
      \copy orders from ./orders.tbl with delimiter as '|' NULL '';
      \copy customer from ./customer.tbl with delimiter as '|' NULL '';
      \copy lineitem from ./lineitem.tbl with delimiter as '|' NULL '';
      \copy partsupp from ./partsupp.tbl with delimiter as '|' NULL '';
      \copy supplier from ./supplier.tbl with delimiter as '|' NULL '';

Enable and create the columnstore index

  1. Based on the version of your PolarDB for PostgreSQL cluster, enable the IMCI feature.

  2. Create an IMCI for the test tables.

    --partsupp table
    ALTER TABLE PARTSUPP ADD CONSTRAINT partsupp_pkey PRIMARY KEY (PS_PARTKEY, PS_SUPPKEY);
    CREATE INDEX imps ON partsupp USING csi(ps_partkey, ps_suppkey, ps_availqty, ps_supplycost, ps_comment);
    
    --part table
    ALTER TABLE PART ADD CONSTRAINT part_kpey PRIMARY KEY (P_PARTKEY);
    CREATE INDEX im_p ON part USING csi(p_partkey, p_name, p_mfgr, p_brand, p_type, p_size, p_container, p_retailprice, p_comment);
    
    --supplier table
    ALTER TABLE SUPPLIER ADD CONSTRAINT supplier_pkey PRIMARY KEY (S_SUPPKEY);
    CREATE INDEX im_s ON supplier USING csi(s_suppkey, s_name, s_address, s_nationkey, s_phone, s_acctbal, s_comment);
    
    --customer table
    ALTER TABLE CUSTOMER ADD CONSTRAINT customer_pkey PRIMARY KEY (C_CUSTKEY);
    CREATE INDEX im_c ON customer USING csi(c_custkey, c_name, c_address, c_nationkey, c_phone, c_acctbal, c_mktsegment, c_comment);
    
    --orders table
    ALTER TABLE ORDERS ADD CONSTRAINT orders_pkey PRIMARY KEY (O_ORDERKEY);
    CREATE INDEX im_o ON orders USING csi(o_orderkey, o_custkey, o_orderstatus, o_totalprice, o_orderdate, o_orderpriority, o_clerk, o_shippriority, o_comment);
    
    --lineitem table
    ALTER TABLE LINEITEM ADD CONSTRAINT lineitem_pkey PRIMARY KEY (L_ORDERKEY, L_LINENUMBER);
    CREATE INDEX im_l ON lineitem USING csi(l_orderkey, l_partkey, l_suppkey, l_linenumber, l_quantity, l_extendedprice, l_discount, l_tax, l_returnflag, l_linestatus, l_shipdate, l_commitdate, l_receiptdate, l_shipinstruct, l_shipmode, l_comment);
    
    --nation table
    ALTER TABLE NATION ADD CONSTRAINT nation_pkey PRIMARY KEY (N_NATIONKEY);
    CREATE INDEX im_n ON nation USING csi(n_nationkey, n_name, n_regionkey, n_comment);
    
    --region table
    ALTER TABLE REGION ADD CONSTRAINT region_pkey PRIMARY KEY (R_REGIONKEY);
    CREATE INDEX im_r ON region USING csi(r_regionkey, r_name, r_comment);
  3. Set the IMCI-related parameters for subsequent queries. For more information about the parameters, see Parameters.

    SET polar_csi.enable_pk TO ON;
    SET polar_csi.enable_query TO ON;
    SET polar_csi.exec_parallel TO 32;
    SET polar_csi.cost_threshold TO 0;
    SET polar_csi.memory_limit TO 65536;

Execute SQL queries

In your PolarDB for PostgreSQL cluster, execute the 22 complex SQL queries and record their execution times.

  1. You can use \timing to record the total execution time of an SQL statement.

  2. Execute the following SQL statements in order.

Test results

Time consumed to create the columnstore index

Conclusion: Single-threaded serial creation takes a total of 39 minutes.

Storage space occupied by the columnstore index

Conclusion:

  • The heap table in the row store engine uses 126 GB of storage space.

  • Columnstore index space usage:

    • If the primary key is not included (that is, polar_csi.enable_pk=false), the IMCI uses a total of 25 GB of storage space, which is 20% of the storage space used by the heap table in the row store engine. This mode is suitable for creating an IMCI for static data.

    • If the primary key is included (that is, polar_csi.enable_pk=true), the IMCI uses a total of 53 GB of storage space, which is 42% of the storage space used by the heap table in the row store engine. This mode is suitable for creating an IMCI for dynamic data.
