And your point is? The design center for the current setup is maybe 5 or 10 partitions.

There is discussion going on, and even if there weren't, the argument still applies. Time spent on this band-aid would be time taken away from a real solution. In case you haven't noticed, we have very finite amounts of manpower that's competent to do planner surgery. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
