This will allow you to simply execute the plan each time a previously parsed/planned query is executed. However storing raw queries can be a *very* expensive operation, not to mention the high cost of performing comparison on them. Due to the associated cost, I'll recommend using(and storing) hashes for query text. If I were you, i'll write the hash calculation and storage and retrieval functions in C and the top level function in Plpgsql. Hope that helps. regards, -- Sibte ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
