So now we can revise Josh’s assertion to: “I have seen only tepid, unconvincing arguments which support this position.” I have thought that PERFORM was useful to mark queries that discard results in the past, but I think now that the mental load is higher, even if it can be fixed with CTEs, it’s more trouble than it’s worth.
