Slow query on “UNION ALL” view

Question

I have a DB view which basically consists of two SELECT queries with UNION ALL, like this:

CREATE VIEW v AS
SELECT time, etc. FROM t1 /         


        

Answer 1

A possibility would be to issue a new SQL dynamically at each call instead of creating a view and to integrate the where clause in each SELECT of the union query

SELECT time, etc. FROM t1
    WHERE time >= ... AND time < ...
UNION ALL
SELECT time, etc. FROM t2
    WHERE time >= ... AND time < ...

EDIT:

Can you use a parametrized function?

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION CallMyView(t1 date, t2 date)
RETURNS TABLE(d date, etc.)
AS $$
    BEGIN
        RETURN QUERY
            SELECT time, etc. FROM t1
                WHERE time >= t1 AND time < t2
            UNION ALL
            SELECT time, etc. FROM t2
                WHERE time >= t1 AND time < t2;
    END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

Call

SELECT * FROM CallMyView(..., ...);
