Hello all,

I don't think this reproduces the issue I experience. I saw a difference of around 500x! What you see is 5x, which according to Tom would be expected for an execution path involving exceptions. And NLS should have an impact as well since more work happens. From the numbers you published, I see 10-15% change which again would be expected?

I cannot think of anything that would be specific to me with regards to this scenario given that I have tried it in quite a few environments from plain stock installs. Until one of you is able to reproduce this, you may be chasing other issues.

Is it possible that the client I am using or the way I am creating the test database might affect this scenario? I use DBeaver and use the default settings to create the database:
- default encoding: UTF8
- collate: English_United States.1252
- ctype: English_United States.1252
- default tablespace: pg_default
