Hi,

here is my query, and the query plan that result

explain select * from (
   select * from sales_order_delivery
       where sales_order_id in (
               select sales_order_id from sales_order
               where closed=false
       )
 ) as a where outstandingorder(sales_order_id, sales_order_item, 
date_due) > 0;


                                                      QUERY PLAN

   ->  Seq Scan on sales_order_delivery  (cost=0.00..6465.03 rows=69223
