Unless you're using EXECUTE in your pl/pgsql, the queries in your pl/pgsql function are already getting prepared on the first call of the function for a given backend connection.. If you're using EXECUTE in pl/gpsql then your problem might be planning time. Moving that to C isn't going to change things as much as you might hope if you still have to plan the query every time you call it.. > The function gets called a lot, but not in the same transaction. It is only > called once per transaction. That's not really relevant.. Is it called alot from the same backend/database connection? If so, and if you're using regular SELECT statements and the like (not EXECUTE), then they're getting prepared the first time they're used and that is kept across transactions. Thanks, Stephen
