I re-copied it below. (If there's another command or option I should be using, please advise.) There is the difference in the two output lines, which I guess suggests that the stable one got inlined and the immutable one didn't? * Output: client_id, si_imm(client_id) * * Output: client_id, staff_inspector_stable(client_id, target_date()) * spc=> EXPLAIN (ANALYZE,BUFFERS,VERBOSE) SELECT client_id,si_imm(client_id) FROM tbl_residence_own; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seq Scan on public.tbl_residence_own (cost=0.00..1990.02 rows=6977 width=8) (actual time=3.771..22665.604 rows=6983 loops=1)* Output: client_id, si_imm(client_id) * Buffers: shared hit=199814 Planning time: 0.156 ms Execution time: 22677.333 ms (5 rows) spc=> EXPLAIN (ANALYZE,BUFFERS,VERBOSE) SELECT client_id,si_stable(client_id) FROM tbl_residence_own; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Seq Scan on public.tbl_residence_own (cost=0.00..3734.27 rows=6977 width=8) (actual time=3.100..1302.888 rows=6983 loops=1)* Output: client_id, staff_inspector_stable(client_id, target_date()) * Buffers: shared hit=60174 Planning time: 0.354 ms Execution time: 1315.746 ms (5 rows) Cheers, Ken -- AGENCY Software A Free Software data system By and for non-profits *http://agency-software.org/ <http://agency-software.org/>* *https://demo.agency-software.org/client <https://demo.agency-software.org/client>* ken.tan...@agency-software.org (253) 245-3801 Subscribe to the mailing list <agency-general-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net?body=subscribe> to learn more about AGENCY or follow the discussion.
