I'm not sure what you mean- now() is a stable function:
My mistake but unless it is immutable the planner cannot evaluate it, it has to defer to the executor. The executor can evaluate it a single time for the query but it is still left with the original execution plan given to it by the planner.
it's the timestamp at the start of the transaction- so the planner should
have a set value for all rows.
Am I missing something else?
Precise responsibility and timing mechanics between the planner and executor which I cannot give adequate exposition on off the top of my head...
