Thanks Laurenz, am having a look at perf.

Can you pls help understand what exactly do you mean when you say "PL/pgSQL
is not optimized for performance like PL/SQL". Do you mean to indicate that
app firing queries/DMLs directly would be a better option as compared to
putting those in Stored Procs?

Regards
