I'm sorry, I still don't get it: how can you be sure that postgresql won't call perl_sliding_mean with not-ordered timestamps-data? I don't mean only in case of holes. The "order by" as far as I know is usually done at the very end of the plan, so I don't think it can affect the order of the data passed to the function... Suppose you have data like: 01/01/2009 1.00 -7 01/01/2009 2.00 -7,1 01/01/2009 3.00 -5,3 01/01/2009 4.00 -5,2 01/01/2009 5.00 -4,8 01/01/2009 6.00 -4 What does prevent postgresql to call your function with data in this order: 01/01/2009 6.00 -4 01/01/2009 1.00 -7 01/01/2009 5.00 -4,8 01/01/2009 3.00 -5,3 01/01/2009 2.00 -7,1 01/01/2009 4.00 -5,2 and reorder ("order by fulltime") at the very end (when results from the function are already out)?
