Hi Alexander,

It seems that you have done a very nice tuning exercise with this query, 
that finishes now in less than 1 ms !!!

and I have learned about LEFT JOIN LATERAL syntax too !

As you didn't spoke about DML activity ... May I suggest you to take some
time to monitor the
application before to continue optimizing this query ?

Take time to check that:
- the result is ok,
- performances are stable,
- there is no regression on other queries,
- inserts,updates, deletes, copy are still working fast,
- size of added objects are coherent and stable,
- query complexity stay manageable,
- there is no other application part to optimize,
- ...

Regards
PAscal
