Using GROUP BY and ORDER BY, the query takes a long time to execute

Elaine04 mins

If you use GROUP BY and ORDER BY as shown below, the query will take a long time (3000-5000ms), but if you delete either of them again, it will finish in about 40ms.

The reason for using GROUP BY is to avoid duplication of dataUsing DISTINCT is very time consuming, so we try to use GROUP BY.

SELECT "videos_video"."id"
FROM "videos_video"
LEFT OUTER JOIN "videos_video_tags" ON ("videos_video"."id" = "videos_video_tags"."video_id")
LEFT OUTER JOIN "videos_tag" ON ("videos_video_tags"."tag_id" = "videos_tag"."id")
WHERE ("videos_video"."is_public"
       AND "videos_video"."published_at" <= '2021-12-20 03:22:05.731220+00:00'
       AND ("videos_video"."title" &@~ 'word'
            OR "videos_tag"."name" &@~ 'word')
       AND "videos_video"."published_at" < '2021-12-13 11:30:00+00:00')
GROUP BY "videos_video"."id"
ORDER BY "videos_video"."published_at" DESC
LIMIT 20;

Also, when I try to run EXPLAIN ANALYZE, I get the following error message I can’t get the result.

server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lostAttempting reset: Failed.

Is there something wrong with the SQL statement?

By removing either GROUP BY or ORDER BY, the index will be used.
