The PostgreSQL optimiser is pretty smart and will pull up simple
sub-selects like yours. If you put your subselect into a view, you'd
also want the optimiser to find the optimal plan, right?
If you want to stop it pulling up the subquery, you can add an OFFSET
0 or ORDER BY or anything that makes it a not-simple subquery. That
tells the planner to leave it alone.
Hope this helps,
