-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello all, In order to speed up commonly used queries, I use prepared statements. I assume that 'prepare' tells some database query planner to take a look at a query, and do all preparations for it, then store those preparations somewhere for when it's needed. When I use CREATE FUNCTION to create a function, does that also get "planned" automatically (plsql, specifically). My gut feeling is that it doesn't (mainly since it can be any external language). The reason I'm asking is because I'd like to have permanently stored "prepared" statements in a database. On even intervals, I connect to it, and perform a number of queries. Many of them are the same statements being run over and over. And these prepared statements really are "hard coded", so they would do fine in my database initialization script. I assume that "functions" aren't what I am looking for.. But is is possible to store preparations some way so they survive past connection/disconnections? - -- Kind regards, Jan Danielsson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (NetBSD) iD8DBQFGhSxLuPlHKFfKXTYRCjb0AJ4utz24vsbwNkU0dGMpPyqg/c7azACfW+b7 0Ecy+yD3ayrvR+C+B8G9shQ= =NFfn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
