Hi

I have postgres_fdw table called tbl_link.  The source table is 2.5 GB in size 
with 122 lines (some lines has 70MB bytea column, but not the ones I select in 
the example)
I noticed that when I put the specific ids in the list "where id in 
(140,144,148)" it works fast (few ms), but when I put the same list as select 
"where id in (select 140 as id union select 144  union select 148)" it takes 50 
seconds.  This select union is just for the example, I obviously have a 
different select (which by itself takes few ms but cause the whole insert query 
to take 10000x more time)

Why is that?  How can I still use regular select and still get reasonable 
response time?

Thanks


FAST:
select lnk.*
into local_1
from tbl_link lnk
where id in (140,144,148)

"Foreign Scan on tbl_link lnk  (cost=100.00..111.61 rows=3 width=700) (actual 
time=4.161..4.167 rows=3 loops=1)"
