| Can you do something like explain analyze on a function
Just a guess: is the column "doc_num" really of type text? Maybe using "text"
in the function lets the planner choose a sequential scan?
I'd try putting a "raise notice '%', explain analyze ..." statement into the
function and check the log file.
Ciao,
Thomas
