Hi all,
I'm having performance degradation with a view upgrading from
7.3 to 7.4, the view is a not so complex, one of his field
is the result from a function.
If I remove the function ( or I use a void function ) the 7.4
out perform the 7.3:

On 7.4 I get:

As you can see the 7.3 do a index scan on the table t_pratica and the 7.4 perform a 
sequential scan,
the plans however are very close to each other.

So I identify the performance issue on the function call, indeed:


7.4:

xxxxx=# explain analyze select sp_foo(id_pratica) from t_pratica;

~ Total runtime: 45499.123 ms
(2 rows)


7.3:

xxxxx=# explain analyze select sp_foo(id_pratica) from t_pratica;
~                                                   QUERY PLAN

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

time=0.58..18446.99 rows=65927 loops=1)
~ Total runtime: 18534.41 msec
(2 rows)



This is the sp_foo:

CREATE FUNCTION sp_foo (integer) RETURNS text
~    AS '
DECLARE
~  a_id_pratica  ALIAS FOR $1;

~  my_parere     TEXT;
BEGIN
~  a_id_pratica  := $1;

~  SELECT INTO my_parere le.nome
~  FROM t_evento           e,
~       lookup_tipo_evento le
~  WHERE e.id_tipo_evento = le.id_tipo_evento AND
~        e.id_pratica = a_id_pratica          AND
~        e.id_tipo_evento in (5,6,7,8 )
~  ORDER by e.id_evento desc
~  LIMIT 1;

~  RETURN my_parere;
END;
'  LANGUAGE plpgsql;


Preparing a statement this is the plan used by 7.4:

xxxxx=# explain analyze execute foo_body( 5 );

The table t_pratica have 65927 rows so 0.824 ms * 65927 is almost the total time 
execution for
each t_pratica row ~ 45000 ms


Unfortunately I can not see the plan used by the 7.3 engine due the lack of explain execute, however I did an explain analyze on the select:

xxxxx=# explain analyze SELECT le.nome
xxxxx-# FROM t_evento e,lookup_tipo_evento le
xxxxx-# WHERE e.id_tipo_evento = le.id_tipo_evento
xxxxx-# AND e.id_pratica = 5

Disabling the hashjoin on the 7.4 I got best performance that 7.3:

xxxxx=# set enable_hashjoin = off;
SET
xxxxx=# explain analyze select sp_get_ultimo_parere(id_pratica) from t_pratica;
~                                                    QUERY PLAN
- 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~ Seq Scan on t_pratica  (cost=0.00..3887.23 rows=65927 width=4) (actual 
time=12.384..12396.136 rows=65927 loops=1)
~ Total runtime: 12485.548 ms
(2 rows)


Now my question is why the 7.4 choose the hash join ? :-( I can provide further details if you ask

BTW with the hash_join = off  the 7.4 choose the same 7.3  plan for this function body.

Of course both engines are running on the same machine with the same settings.
