Version? What is the value for work_mem and other configs that are
non-default? I see some estimates that are rather off like -
-> Nested Loop (cost=0.26..4.76 rows=100 width=148) (actual
time=183.906..388716.550 rows=8935 loops=1)
Buffers: shared hit=53877 dirtied=2
-> Function Scan on json_to_recordset x
(cost=0.01..1.00 *rows=100* width=128) (actual time=130.645..142.316
*rows=8935* loops=1)
-> Function Scan on get_transaction_type_by_id
bank_transaction_type (cost=0.25..0.26 rows=1 width=4) (actual
time=0.154..0.156 rows=1 loops=8935)
Buffers: shared hit=18054
Sometimes putting data into a temp table and analyzing it can be rather
helpful to ensure the planner has statistics on the number of records,
ndistinct, most common values, etc. I would try doing that with the result
of json_to_recordset and skipping the function call
to get_transaction_type_by_id until later, just to see how it performs.
That said, it seems like a hardcoded estimate from json_to_recordset is 100
perhaps. I haven't checked source code, but I know when defining a set
returning function, there is a ROWS option which provides the planner a
static value to assume will come out of that function so it would make
sense perhaps.
