In PgSQL I make huge select, and then I want count it's size and apply some extra filters. execute it twice sound dumm, so I wrapped it in function and then "cache" it and return union of filtered table and extra row at the end where in "id" column store size
with q as (select * from myFunc())
select * from q
where q.distance < 400
union all
select count(*) as id, null,null,null
from q
but it also doesn't look like proper solution...
and so the question: is in pg something like "generator function" or any other stuff that can properly solve this ?
postgreSQL 13
myFunc aka "selectItemsByRootTag"
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION selectItemsByRootTag(
in tag_name VARCHAR(50)
)
RETURNS table(
id BIGINT,
name VARCHAR(50),
description TEXT,
/*info JSON,*/
distance INTEGER
)
AS $$
BEGIN
RETURN QUERY(
WITH RECURSIVE prod AS (
SELECT
tags.name, tags.id, tags.parent_tags
FROM
tags
WHERE tags.name = (tags_name)
UNION
SELECT c.name, c.id , c.parent_tags
FROM
tags as c
INNER JOIN prod as p
ON c.parent_tags = p.id
)
SELECT
points.id,
points.name,
points.description,
/*points.info,*/
points.distance
from points
left join tags on points.tag_id = tags.id
where tags.name in (select prod.name from prod)
);
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
as a result i want see maybe set of 2 table or generator function that yield some intermediate result not shure how exacltly it should look

You can call it throug following way
select * from pg_temp.selectItemsByRootTag('test',20);
select * from pg_temp.selectItemsByRootTag('test_8',20) with ORDINALITY;
The 1 way to call the function, will have a row of total count total number of rows. Second way call have number of rows plus a serial incremental number.
I also make where q.distance < 400
into function input argument.
selectItemsByRootTag('test',20);
means that q.distance > 20
and tags.name ilike '%test%'
.
