Use tables, views and views over views, it's all fine and your indexes

I can't agree with using views over views. It has some limitations.
I asked about it on this list several months ago
and Tom Lane's conclusion was:

I'd like to split queries into views, but I can't join them - planner
search all of records instead of using index. It works very slow.
I think this is the same issue that Stephan identified in his response
to your other posting ("sub-select with aggregate"). When you write
FROM x join y using (col) WHERE x.col = const
the WHERE-restriction is only applied to x. I'm afraid you'll need
to write
FROM x join y using (col) WHERE x.col = const AND y.col = const
Ideally you should be able to write just
FROM x join y using (col) WHERE col = const
but I think that will be taken the same as "x.col = const" :-(

I don't know if anything changed on 7.3.
