What about:
create function set_emp_id() returns void as $$
begin
drop table if exists emp_1_id;
select emp_id into temp emp_1_id from secureview.tbl_employee where
username = current_user;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
create function get_emp_id() returns int as $$
return select emp_id from emp_1_id;
$$ language plpgsql stable;
Call set_emp_id once on connection, then use get_emp_id thereafter. Would
that be any faster? (This is what Erik meant by " a temp table is pretty
much a session variable" in his earlier message.)
