I have a client that wants to pass in as an IN clause a list of 7,000
values. The value set changes for each query and it ranges from 5,000 to
8,000 values.

The planning time is too long for the requirements. (250 - 300ms)

I got it to work in 50ms end to end by creating a temp table and doing a
copy from STDIN into the temp table


However this is a Java based app and getting it to do a copy is becoming
way more complex than it should be.


Anyone know of an alternate way to run a query where an id is one of X
values where X is a list of 5 - 8 thousand values that will not force
the planner to spend 200+ms prepping the plan?

200ms in the planning stage?  I'd sell my first grandchild to get the complex queries I see down from 10000 ms.

Anyway... you can use VALUES in a CTE to generate an anonymous table:

Or EXISTS:

Because they're constants, I'd probably try the CTE + VALUES method.
