It looks to me like the partition child tables probably don't have indexes that are well adapted to this query. Equality constraints should be on leading columns of the index, but the only index I see evidence of in your plans has the date column first. Probably the planner is considering an inner-indexscan plan and rejecting it as being more expensive than this one, because it would have to scan too much of the index. 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
