Hello
I rechecked performance of dynamic SQL and it is significantly slower
in 9.2 than 9.1
-- 9.1
postgres=# create or replace function test() returns void as $$ begin
for i in 1..1000000 loop execute 'select 1'; end loop; end $$ language
plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
postgres=# \timing
Timing is on.
postgres=# select test();test
------
(1 row)
Time: 7652.904 ms
postgres=# select test();test
------
(1 row)
Time: 7828.025 ms
-- 9.2
postgres=# create or replace function test() returns void as $$ begin
for i in 1..1000000 loop execute 'select 1'; end loop; end $$ language
plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
Time: 59.272 ms
postgres=# select test();test
------
(1 row)
Time: 11153.646 ms
postgres=# select test();test
------
(1 row)
Time: 11081.899 ms
This test is synthetic, but it shows so somebody who use dynamic SQL
in triggers (for partitioning) can has slower operations.
