Hi,
I am looking to Range Partition one of my table (i.e. TransactionLog) in PostgreSQL 11.
While evaluating query performance difference between the un-partitioned and partitioned table I am getting huge difference in planning time. Planning time is very high on partitioned table.
Similarly when I query by specifying partition name directly in query the planning time is much less **0.081 ms** as compared to when I query based on partition table (parent table) name in query, where planning time **6.231 ms** (Samples below).<br>
Below are the details, Let me know how can I improve query performance on partitioned table.
Following is the schema
CREATE TABLE TransactionLog (
txid character varying(36) NOT NULL,
txnDetails character varying(64),
loggingtime timestamp(6) without time zone DEFAULT LOCALTIMESTAMP,
) PARTITION BY RANGE(loggingtime);
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS TransactionLog_20200223 PARTITION OF TransactionLog FOR VALUES FROM ('2020-02-23') TO ('2020-02-24');
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX TransactionLog_20200223_UnqTxId ON TransactionLog_20200223 (txnid);
Following is explain analyze result when I query Directly on partition. Planning time ~**0.080 ms** (average of 10 execution)
postgres=> EXPLAIN (ANALYZE,VERBOSE,COSTS,BUFFERS,TIMING,SUMMARY) select txnDetails FROM mra_part.TransactionLog_20200223 WHERE txnid = 'febd139d-1b7f-4564-a004-1b3474e51756';

There are around ~200 child partitions. Partition pruning enabled.
