subquery may be used to cache constants: SELECT a_date FROM test WHERE a_date=(SELECT current_date); "Seq Scan on test1 (cost=0.01..10.76 rows=5 width=4)" " Filter: (a_date = $0)" " InitPlan 1 (returns $0)" " -> Result (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=0)" ------------ pasman -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
