Whel basically v_sc_packages depends on other 3 views that are just a simple
interface to a plain table.


If I execute a select only on this table I get reasonable executions time:


=== cpu_tuple_cost = 0.07

# explain analyze select * from v_sc_packages where id_package = 19628;

and I get the best with this:
