Background

A query profile provides a model of a query's cost distribution between profile parts like joins or aggregations. This profile can help you to optimize or rewrite the query.

Description

The profile of a query with multiple joins may incorrectly distribute durations between the joins.
E.g. one join shows higher costs at the expense of another join.
The overall duration is unaffected.

Workaround

There is no workaround.

Fix

The duration values of join profile parts reflect their true costs more accurately.
