Your problem is that the query as written is hard to plan. The
database has no idea what you pass in, it has to guess. (IMO, It
almost always guesses wrong...I think it should assume 1 row
returned). Also, the db has no idea what you want to pass in at plan
time for date.
what indexes do you have on click?
