My users are writing many of their own functions and it is causing performance to
suffer
on a few simple queries. For example, I have a query that just selects count(*) from a
table. With the function
select count(*) from a_table where a_column = cdk(1234567890);
It takes 5 minutes
By plugging in the result of the cdk function into the query
select count(*) from a_table where a_column = 0987654321;
It take .18 of a second.
How can I tell the optimizer that the result of the function will be the same every
time so you don't need to call it for every row? I can do this in the app but it would
be cool to know if I can do this on the database side also.
Thanks, Dave
