Hello,
I have some simple function. The returned data set is generated based on view (dynamic - can be changed on daily basis).
So the function was defined this way:
1. returns setof some_view as ...
2. inside the function I'm generating dynamic SQL into v_sql variable.
3. return query execute v_sql
Everything works fine if I'm running single function, like:
select * from function (param1, param2)
I'm getting the delimited fields in desired order.
But if I want to run the function in inline mode, like:
select function(param1, param2) from some_table;
so the returned datatype is record.
To return multiple fields, I'm trying to use:
select (function(param1, param2)).* from some_table;
But this operation has a huge performance impact, IMHO runtime multiplied by number of columns - the function is executed for each column separately.
In my case normal inline run is about 2 seconds for 300-400 records, but with ().* it's increased to 90-120 seconds.
Thank you in advance if you can suggest me the better way.
BR,
