Hello,
Actually what I expected from the planner for this
query (select max(transid) from view) was something
like this :
select max(transid) from (select max(transid) from
archive.transaction union all select max(transid) from
public.transaction)
and to apply the max function to each query of the
union. This is what is happening when you use a where
condition, it is using the indexes on each subquery of
the view...
ex: select transid from view where transid = 12;
This way it would be fast enough.
Also for order by and limit I was expecting the same
thing.
Thank you for your time,
