Subject: STRICT SQL functions never inline
Date: Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:29:03 -0800
Message-ID: <4EB9BB3F.6090504@agliodbs.com> (raw)

Folks,

After having some production issues, I did some testing and it seems
that any SQL function declared STRICT will never inline.  As a result,
it won't work with either indexes (on the underlying predicate) or
partitioning.

This seems like a horrible gotcha for our users.  At the very least I'd
like to document it (in CREATE FUNCTION, presumably), but it would be
better to fix it.  Thoughts?
