The following caveats apply to constraint exclusion: * Constraint exclusion only works when the query's WHERE clause contains constants. A parameterized query will not be optimized, since the planner cannot know which partitions the parameter value might select at run time. For the same reason, "stable" functions such as CURRENT_DATE must be avoided. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/ddl-partitioning.html Or did I miss something? Joshua D.
