Hello

use a dynamic query - plpgsql uses prepared statements. It use plans
generated without knowledge of real params. Sometime it should to do
performance problem. EXECUTE statement (in plpgsql) uses new plan for
every call (and generated with knowledge of real params) - so it is a
solution for you.
