Postgres 9.1
Ubuntu something.
We have a stored procedure that performs the following evaluations:
IF ST_Intersects(line1, line2) OR ST_Intersects(line3, line4) THEN
do stuff
ELSIF ST_Intersects(line5, line6) OR ST_Intersects(line7, line8) THEN
do stuffB
END IF;
98% of the time the 2nd half of these IF statements will never be true.
ST_Intersects is an expensive operations to perform.
Given we're executing this across a lot of data... avoiding expensive
calls is a good idea.
So, can we count on the evaluation of the 1st half of the IF's being
done first before trying the 2nd half, or
should we re-write the IF/ELSE to
IF ST_Intersects(line1, line2) THEN
do stuff
ELSIF ST_Intersects(line5, line6) THEN
do stuffB
ELSIF ST_Intersects(line3, line4) THEN
do stuff
ELSIF ST_Intersects(line7, line8) THEN
do stuffB
END IF;
