Greenplum Query Optimization
-- Analyze table statistics regularly
ANALYZE production.lot_tracking;
ANALYZE equipment.sensor_data;
ANALYZE quality.wafer_test_results;
-- Create appropriate indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_lot_tracking_product_time
ON production.lot_tracking (product_id, start_time);
CREATE INDEX idx_sensor_data_equipment_time
ON equipment.sensor_data (equipment_id, timestamp);
-- Optimize partition pruning
SET gp_dynamic_partition_pruning = on;
SET gp_enable_fast_sri = on;
SET gp_enable_sort_limit = on;
-- Memory configuration for analytical workloads
SET gp_resqueue_memory_policy = 'eager_free';
SET work_mem = '512MB';
SET gp_workfile_limit_files_per_query = 1000000;
