I've got a stored proc that constructs some aggregation queries as strings
and then executes them. I'd like to be able to increase work_mem before
running those queries. If I set a new value for work_mem within the stored
proc prior to executing my query string, will that actually have an impact
on the query or is work_mem basically a constant once the outer statement
that calls the stored proc has begun? I'd just test, but it will take
hours for me to grab a copy of production data and import into a new db
host for testing. I've already started that process, but I'm betting I'll
have an answer by the time it completes. It's just the difference between
modifying the application which calls the procs (and doing a full software
release in order to do so or else waiting a month to go in the next
release) vs modifying the procs themselves, which requires only db a
update.
I would suggest doing ALTER FUNCTION blub(blarg) SET work_mem = '512MB';
