This still reads the "games" CTE twice; but since you're evaluating that CTE elsewhere in the query, I think the additional follower node isn't worth trying to get rid of. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
