I think it has been shown enough times that the performance drop caused by a worse plan can be orders of magnitudes worse than what's gained by producing the plan only once. It does not seem a bad idea to provide a way to carry out only the parse phase, and postpone planning until the parameters have been received. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
