I noticed that it has to do with the volatility. If I declare the function as stable (which it is) then it's executed multiple times. If I declare it as volatile, it's only executed once. I'm more interested in something like the following (output placed inline): create function bug_function_2 (j_p integer) returns composite_types_test volatile language plpgsql as $$ declare r composite_types_test; begin select * into r from composite_types_test where j = j_p; raise notice 'in bug_function_2'; return r; end; $$; select (bf2).* from ( select bug_function_2(j) as bf2 from composite_types_test ) as foo; psql:sql/bug_example.sql:54: NOTICE: in bug_function_2 a | b | c | d | e | f | g | h | i | j ---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--- 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 (1 row) create or replace function bug_function_2 (j_p integer) returns composite_types_test stable language plpgsql as $$ declare r composite_types_test; begin select * into r from composite_types_test where j = j_p; raise notice 'in bug_function_2'; return r; end; $$; select (bf2).* from ( select bug_function_2(j) as bf2 from composite_types_test ) as foo; psql:sql/bug_example.sql:70: NOTICE: in bug_function_2 psql:sql/bug_example.sql:70: NOTICE: in bug_function_2 psql:sql/bug_example.sql:70: NOTICE: in bug_function_2 psql:sql/bug_example.sql:70: NOTICE: in bug_function_2 psql:sql/bug_example.sql:70: NOTICE: in bug_function_2 psql:sql/bug_example.sql:70: NOTICE: in bug_function_2 psql:sql/bug_example.sql:70: NOTICE: in bug_function_2 psql:sql/bug_example.sql:70: NOTICE: in bug_function_2 psql:sql/bug_example.sql:70: NOTICE: in bug_function_2 psql:sql/bug_example.sql:70: NOTICE: in bug_function_2 a | b | c | d | e | f | g | h | i | j ---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--- 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 (1 row)
