-1 for the GUC.
Absolutely.
So ISTM we have three choices:
1) we switch unmarked CTEs as inlineable by default in pg11. What seems
likely to happen for a user that upgrades to pg11 is that 5 out of 10
CTE-using queries are going to become faster than with pg10, and they
are going to be happy; 4 out of five are going to see no difference, but
they didn't have to do anything about it; and the remaining query is
going to become slower, either indistinguishably so (in which case they
don't care and they remain happy because of the other improvements) or
notably so, in which case they can easily figure where to add the
MATERIALIZED option and regain the original performance.
+1
I've watched a colleague spend hours trying to optimise a complicated
query with nested views, then find that this 'optimisation fence' was
the heart of the problem.
Cheers,
Gavin
