I don't think even in CVS that there's much hope on this query with the OR
between the IN clause and a plain equals clause, but there are a few
improvements you could make to the UNION form:
> intra=# explain ANALYZE select * from sp_op_uct where sp_op_id in (select

> sp_op_uct where sp_op_id = 34123;
Try
SELECT *
FROM sp_op_uct
WHERE sp_op_id IN (
SELECT sp_op_id
FROM sp_op_produkt
WHERE bal_zak = 34123
UNION ALL
SELECT 34123 AS sp_op_id
)
You can select just the plain constant 34123 instead of having to fetch the
row from sp_op_uct. This probably won't save much actual time since the record
would have been in cache anyways. And you can use UNION ALL instead of UNION
since the IN will eliminate duplicates anyways. This avoids an extra
sort/uniquify step. Again it wouldn't really save much time since the extra
sort was only across 2 rows. But I like seeing simple clean plans even if they
aren't really much faster.
