I have an index scan on a custom function that is returning a wildly incorrect
row estimate that is throwing off the rest of the query planning. The result
of the function is roughly unique - there are a handful with multiple entries -
but the planner is estimating 227,745 rows. I re-ran ANALYZE on the table and
the results did not change. Any suggestions on how to get more accurate
planner result?
Function definition:
CREATE FUNCTION parsecardidfromreferencecode(text) RETURNS text AS $_$
BEGIN
RETURN SUBSTRING($1 FROM 3 FOR 13);
END;
$_$ LANGUAGE plpgsql IMMUTABLE;
Explain output:
# explain select * from trail.event where type='CREDIT' and
parsecardidfromreferencecode(reference_code) = lpad(CAST('57729970' AS text),
13, '0');
