The definition as given doesn't work at all (it'll have duplicate column names), but more to the point, if it were that simple then the planner would fold it into the parent query. The subquery scan node indicates that folding did not occur. The most likely reason for that is that there's an ORDER BY in the view. Putting ORDER BYs in views that you intend to use as components of other views is a bad practice from a performance perspective... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
