PgHintPlan

PgHintPlan

Run

dotnet add package PgHintPlan

Enable the extension

// create the data source
var dataSourceBuilder = new NpgsqlDataSourceBuilder(connString);
await using var dataSource = dataSourceBuilder.Build();

// enable extension using the data source
await dataSource.EnablePgHintPlanAsync();

// alternatively, you can use the connection
var conn = dataSource.OpenConnection();
await conn.EnablePgHintPlanAsync();

PgHintPlan.EntityFrameworkCore

Run

dotnet add package PgHintPlan.EntityFrameworkCore

Import the library

using PgHintPlan.EntityFrameworkCore;

Enable the extension

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
    modelBuilder.UsePgHintPlan();
}

Configure the connection

protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
{
    optionsBuilder.UsePgHintPlan();
    optionsBuilder.UseNpgsql();
}

Disable Hash Join

var items = await ctx.Items
    .EnableHashJoin(false)
    .ToListAsync();

Force nested loop for the joins on the tables

var data = await ctx.Products
    .Join(ctx.Items,
        (product) => product.Id,
        (item) => item.ProductId,
        (product, item) => new
        {
            ProductId = product.Id,
            Id        = item.Id
        })
    .NestLoop(ctx.Items.EntityType, ctx.Products.EntityType)
    .ToListAsync();

Force index scan on the table

var index = ctx.Items.EntityType
    .GetIndexes()
    .Where(i => i.Name == "test_index")
    .Single();

var items = await ctx.Items
    .IndexScan(ctx.Items.EntityType, index)
    .ToListAsync();

You can stack as many commands as you want

var items = await ctx.Items
    .EnableHashAgg()
    .EnableHashJoin(false)
    .EnableIndexOnlyScan()
    .ToListAsync();
