Hm, shouldn't this query notice that random() is volatile and not make the
subquery an initplan?
postgres=# select i, (select (random()*1000)::integer ) from x limit 5;
i | ?column?
---+----------
1 | 677
2 | 677
3 | 677
4 | 677
5 | 677
(5 rows)
postgres=# explain select i, (select (random()*1000)::integer ) from x limit
5;
QUERY PLAN
-----------------------------------------------------------
Limit (cost=0.02..0.11 rows=5 width=4)
InitPlan
-> Result (cost=0.00..0.02 rows=1 width=0)
-> Seq Scan on x (cost=0.00..64.80 rows=3480 width=4)
(4 rows)
