a query, like: "select stuff from aTable where akey = 5" can be
planned/prepared differently than a function containing: "select stuff
from aTable where akey = $1". I'm guessing this is the problem you are
running into. The planner has no information about $1, so cannot make
good guesses.
I think you have two options:
1) dont use a function, just fire off the sql.
2) inside the function, create the query as a string, then execute it, like:
a := "select junk from aTable where akey = 5";
EXECUE a;
(I dont think that's the exact right syntax, but hopefully gets the idea
across)
