Running just the sql of the function returns only 10 rows: pg=# SELECT m.memberid, m.websiteid, m.emailaddress, pg-# m.firstname, m.lastname, m.regcomplete, m.emailok pg-# FROM members m pg-# WHERE m.emailaddress LIKE 'test.email@xxxxxxxxxxx' pg-# AND m.changedate_id < 5868 ORDER BY m.emailaddress, m.websiteid; memberid | websiteid | emailaddress | firstname | lastname | regcomplete | emailok -----------+-----------+------------------------+-----------+----------+-------------+--------- 247815829 | 1 | test.email@xxxxxxxxxxx | email | test | 1 | 1 300960335 | 62 | test.email@xxxxxxxxxxx | | | 1 | 1 300959937 | 625 | test.email@xxxxxxxxxxx | | | 1 | 1 260152830 | 1453 | test.email@xxxxxxxxxxx | | | 1 | 1 300960163 | 1737 | test.email@xxxxxxxxxxx | email | test | 1 | 1 300960259 | 1824 | test.email@xxxxxxxxxxx | email | test | 1 | 1 300959742 | 1928 | test.email@xxxxxxxxxxx | email | test | 1 | 1 368122699 | 2457 | test.email@xxxxxxxxxxx | email | test | 1 | 1 403218613 | 2464 | test.email@xxxxxxxxxxx | email | test | 1 | 0 378951994 | 2656 | test.email@xxxxxxxxxxx | | | 1 | 1 (10 rows) Time: 132.626 ms So, it would seem that's a small enough number of rows. Unfortunately, issuing: set cursor_tuple_fraction to 1.0; Did not have an effect on performance. Is it common to modify this cursor_tuple_fraction parameter each time we execute the function?
