Обсуждение: [PERFORM] Performance issue with castings args of the function
Hello there!
I have an performance issue with functions and args type.
Table and data:
create table t1 (id serial, str char(32));
insert into t1 (str) select md5(s::text) from generate_series(1, 1000000) as s;
And simple functions:
create function f1(line text) returns void as $$
begin
perform * from t1 where str = line;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
create function f2(line char) returns void as $$
begin
perform * from t1 where str = line;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
Query:
test=> explain analyze select f2(' 2b00042f7481c7b056c4b410d28f33 cf');
QUERY PLAN
------------------------------ ------------------------------ ----------------------------

test=>
Seems that casting param from text to char(32) needs to be done only once and f1 and f2 must be identical on performance. But function f2 with text param significantly slower, even with casting arg while pass it to function.
Tested postgresql versions 9.5.5 and 9.6.1 on Ubuntu 16.04. It's normal behavior or it's can be fixed?

This explain shows nothing - you need to use nested explain
look on auto-explain https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/auto-explain.html
Maybe index was not used due different types.

Thanks all for explain!

This query is specifying a text comparison (text = text operator).
Since the table column isn't text, a char-to-text conversion must
happen at each line.

This query is specifying a char(n) comparison (char = char operator).
No type conversion step needed, so it's faster.
