I have something like this:
billy=# EXPLAIN SELECT * from kursy where id_trasy=1 and
data_kursu=date('2001-12-12');
NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:
Index Scan using pp on kursy (cost=0.00..51.55 rows=1 width=18)
billy=# EXPLAIN SELECT * from kursy where id_trasy=1
and data_kursu='2001-12-12';
NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:
Index Scan using pp on kursy (cost=0.00..2.02 rows=1 width=18)
Why the first expression is 25 times slower?
I suppose, that planner thinks, that date('2001-12-12') is a dynamic
variable - is it true? I found this problem when i had to add date and
integer. Little "iscachable" function helped me, but I still don't know
why it happened.
CREATE FUNCTION date_sum(date,integer) returns date AS'
BEGIN
return $1+$2;
END;
'LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' WITH (iscachable);

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
