Re: Differences when calling query inside and outside cursor - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

As we suspected the SELECT inside a cursor is using a different plan than
outside a cursor:

pgipm=3D# explain analyze DECLARE CUR1 CURSOR FOR
pgipm-# SELECT XMAX, ANO, MES, CODFUNC, SEQFUNC, TIPOPGTO, CODPD, HRSPD,
VLRPD, MESANO, TIPOCALCFERIAS, VLRBASE FROM fparq.cadpag    where  (ANO
>'2013')  or (ANO =3D'2013'  and MES >'01')  or (ANO =3D'2013'  and MES =3D=
'01'
and CODFUNC >'0000029602')  or (ANO =3D'2013'  and MES =3D'01'  and CODFUNC
=3D'0000029602'  and SEQFUNC >'02')  or (ANO =3D'2013'  and MES =3D'01'  an=
d
CODFUNC =3D'0000029602'  and SEQFUNC =3D'02'  and TIPOPGTO >   (' '))  or (=
ANO
=3D'2013'  and MES =3D'01'  and CODFUNC =3D'0000029602'  and SEQFUNC =3D'02=
'  and
TIPOPGTO =3D (' ')  and CODPD >'000')  order by  ANO ASC,  MES ASC,  CODFUN=
C
ASC,  SEQFUNC ASC,  TIPOPGTO ASC,  CODPD ASC;

(2 rows)

Should it not be the same inside or outside a cursor?

Thank you in advance!
