Re: BUG #18950: pgsql function that worked in Postgresql 16 does not return in Postgresql 17

Yes!  I just changed the parameter as  you suggested and the query returned as expected.

So I guess something changed between version 16 and version 17?  Perhaps the default for that setting?

This isn't that surprising either: a query inside a function is
often translated into a "generic" plan that doesn't depend on
specific parameter values, typically sacrificing runtime to
avoid repeated planning.  Does it get any better if you do
"set plan_cache_mode = force_custom_plan" before running the
function?
