Yes, absolutely. (I would've imagined that that habit is pretty awful for performance on Oracle, too.) Having said that, the golden rule in such things is to get it to work first, and make it fast later. I wouldn't worry about cleaning up unnecessary EXECUTE usage till you have a working port. regards, tom lane
