Subject: | Query is 800 times slower when running in function! |

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
