Re: (View and SQL) VS plpgsql

try this, i had no data to check the plan and didn't have time to invent any.

create index idx_archive_jb_idx on
archive_event(inst,utctime,src,bid,tid);

explain
SELECT count(cid) AS hits,src, bid,
tid,
(select MIN(utctime)from archive_eventwhere src = ae.srcAND bid =ae.bidAND tid = ae.tidAND inst = '3'AND utctime
BETWEEN'1114920000' AND '1131512399'
 
) as min_time,
(select MAX(utctime)from) as max_timearchive_eventwhere src = ae.srcAND bid =ae.bidAND tid = ae.tidAND inst = '3'AND
utctimeBETWEEN '1114920000' AND '1131512399
 
FROM archive_event ae
WHERE inst='3'
AND (utctime BETWEEN '1114920000' AND '1131512399')
GROUP BY src, bid, tid
;
