I understand that there is overhead involved in parsing the strings and such. The amount of overhead was surprising to me but that's another matter. What I am really puzzled about is the difference between the statements
EXECUTE 'INSERT INTO ' || quote_ident(partition_name) || ' SELECT ($1).*' USING NEW ; and EXECUTE 'INSERT INTO ' || quote_ident(partition_name) || ' VALUES (($1).*)' USING NEW ; They both do string interpolation but one is significantly faster than the other. Is there a third and even faster way? I am using RDS so I can't really do stored procs in C.
