Hi,
If I limit a particular query to show 3 results which has a function call
how can the function get called 4 times ? its apparently happening to me.
tradein_clients=# SELECT company_id, utils.pgxml_xpath_pl('/Company@CompanyId' , xml) from
companies where xml is not null limit 3;
INFO: function pgxml_xpath_pl has been called
INFO: function pgxml_xpath_pl has been called
INFO: function pgxml_xpath_pl has been called
INFO: function pgxml_xpath_pl has been called
+------------+----------------+
| company_id | pgxml_xpath_pl |
+------------+----------------+
| 65 | 65 |
| 187 | 187 |
| 382 | 382 |
+------------+----------------+
(3 rows)
but when i filter by a column the behaviour is rite:
tradein_clients=# SELECT company_id, utils.pgxml_xpath_pl('/Company@CompanyId' , xml) from
companies where xml is not null and company_id=65;
INFO: function pgxml_xpath_pl has been called
+------------+----------------+
| company_id | pgxml_xpath_pl |
+------------+----------------+
| 65 | 65 |
+------------+----------------+
(1 row)
tradein_clients=#
output of vacuum full verbose analyze :
( but the faulty behaviour persists)
