Find derived tables that subqueries invoke a PL/pgSQL function. Avoid context switch that is caused by the invocation of PL/pgSQL functions from the subqueries of derived tables.
Notes
In the returned subquery of view/materialized view and in the body of routine the query replaces each newline character with the line break (br) tag for the better readability in case the query result is displayed in a web browser. There could be multiple routines with the same name but with different parameters in the same schema (overloading). Thus, for the unique identification of the routine it is necessary to present also its parameters in addition to the schema name and routine name.
Type
Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design)
Try to replace the PL/pgSQL function with a SQL function, i.e., with a function that is written in SQL.
