I am wondering if there is a more efficient way to do things? Some people on IRC mentioned that it might be better to declare a scalar function to return the host from ts_parse instead of the LATERAL query ... but I couldn't figure out how to do that, or if it was even preferable to the above from a performance standpoint ... any ideas on how I could improve the above.
May try indexing the parsed expression to avoid the seq scan on links, something like:
create index on links (ts_parse('default', target));
and then run the explain (or explain analyze) to see if that improves things. Certainly as the links table gets bigger this should help.
