Any other idea how to resolve the performance issue with the database view?

Merlin,  I tried the hack you suggested but that didn't work. Planner used the same path.

The same query works much faster when using the raw SQL instead of  DB view:

Here is the definition of DB View ‘job’

 SELECT w.id,

    w.parent_id,

    w.status AS state,

    w.percent_complete AS progress_percentage,

    w.start_time,

    w.end_time,

    w.est_completion_time AS estimated_completion_time,

    w.root_id,

    w.internal AS is_internal,

    w.order_id AS step_order,

    c.resource_type,

    c.resource_id,

    c.id AS command_id,

    c.client_cookie,

    c.user_name AS "user",

    c.metadata,

    c.client_address,

    response_body(r.*, w.*) AS response_body

   FROM work_unit w

     LEFT JOIN command c ON c.work_unit_id = w.id

     LEFT JOIN command_response r ON r.command_id::text = c.id::text;

 

 

Query that uses the DB view:

SELECT id, start_time

FROM job

order by id  LIMIT 101 OFFSET 0;

 Query using the raw SQL

<SQL from Job DB View definition>

ORDER BY id LIMIT 101 OFFSET 0;

I think the row count on both you explain plan does not go well with what was anticipated by the planner. 

can you run analyze on all the tables in your view query and try both the queries again?

huh. OFFSET does indeed force a materialize plan.   This is a widely
used tactic to hack the planner ('OFFSET 0').

Maybe try converting your query from something like:

SELECT * FROM foo LIMIT m OFFSET N;
to
WITH data AS
(
  SELECT * FROM foo LIMIT m + n
)
SELECT * FROM foo OFFSET n;

I didn't try this, and it may not help, but it's worth a shot.
