Hi,

I have a simple query that is running inside a plpgsql function.

SELECT INTO _point_id id FROM ot2.point WHERE unit_id = _unit_id AND time > _last_status ORDER BY time LIMIT 1;

Both _unit_id and _last_status variables in the function. the table has an index on unit_id,point

When this runs inside a function it is taking about 800ms. When I run it stand alone it takes about .8 ms, which is a big difference.

I can find no reason for this. I have checked that time and _last_status time are both timestamps and unit_id and _unit_id are both oids.

The explain looks perfect

explain select id from point where unit_id = 95656 and time > '2005-11-30 23:11:00' order by time limit 1;
                                                     QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Limit  (cost=9.94..9.95 rows=1 width=12)
  ->  Sort  (cost=9.94..9.95 rows=2 width=12)
        Sort Key: "time"
-> Index Scan using unit_point on point (cost=0.00..9.93 rows=2 width=12) Index Cond: ((unit_id = 95656::oid) AND ("time" > '2005-11-30 23:11:00'::timestamp without time zone))
(5 rows)

Time: 0.731 ms

A query inside the same function that runs right before this one runs at the expected speed (about 1 ms)

SELECT INTO _last_status time FROM ot2.point WHERE unit_id = _unit_id AND flags & 64 = 64 ORDER BY unit_id desc, time DESC LIMIT 1;

It uses the same table and indexes.

To time individual queries inside the function I am using:

tt := (timeofday()::timestamp)-startt; RAISE INFO 'Location A %' , tt; startt := timeofday()::timestamp;

tt is an interval and startt is a timestamp.

I am out of things to try. Can anyone help?

Thanks
Ralph
