Weak performance of count queries on PostgreSQL

XMLWordPrintable

      Reported in SUPPORT-5776:
      On a PostgreSQL 10.6 instance, the job count query 

      select COUNT(DISTINCT RES.ID_)
fom ACT_RU_JOB RES
where  RES.SUSPENSION_STATE_ = 1

      performs about 4 times slower than

      select COUNT(RES.ID_)
fom ACT_RU_JOB RES
where  RES.SUSPENSION_STATE_ = 1

      and

      select COUNT(*) 
from (
	select DISTINCT RES.ID_ 
	from ACT_RU_JOB RES
	where RES.SUSPENSION_STATE_ = 1)

      The problem for this is explained here:
