Hello,
stable, volatile, immutable flag doesn't necessary means caching or
not caching.
if you need really only one call, use srf function
postgres=# create table foo(a int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into foo values(10),(20);
INSERT 0 2
postgres=# create function foof(bool) returns setof int as $$begin
raise notice 'foof call'; if $1 then return next 1; else return next
0; end if; return; end;$$ language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
postgres=# select * from foof(true);
NOTICE: foof call
foof
------
1
(1 row)
postgres=# select * from foo,foof(true);
NOTICE: foof call
a | foof
----+------
10 | 1
20 | 1
(2 rows)
regards
Pavel Stehule
