After re-reading your question I see what you're getting at. You want the query planner to rewrite it as if it were: explain select * from ptest where id=5000 UNION ALL select * from ptest WHERE id=6000000 and produce a plan like this: regress=> explain select * from ptest where id=5000 UNION ALL select * from ptest WHERE id=6000000; QUERY PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Result (cost=0.00..25.58 rows=10 width=62) -> Append (cost=0.00..25.58 rows=10 width=62) -> Result (cost=0.00..12.74 rows=5 width=62) -> Append (cost=0.00..12.74 rows=5 width=62) -> Seq Scan on ptest (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=62) Filter: (id = 5000) -> Bitmap Heap Scan on ctest01 ptest (cost=4.28..12.74 rows=4 width=62) Recheck Cond: (id = 5000) -> Bitmap Index Scan on ctest01_id_idx (cost=0.00..4.28 rows=4 width=0) Index Cond: (id = 5000) -> Result (cost=0.00..12.74 rows=5 width=62) -> Append (cost=0.00..12.74 rows=5 width=62) -> Seq Scan on ptest (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=62) Filter: (id = 6000000) -> Bitmap Heap Scan on ctest02 ptest (cost=4.28..12.74 rows=4 width=62) Recheck Cond: (id = 6000000) -> Bitmap Index Scan on ctest02_id_idx (cost=0.00..4.28 rows=4 width=0) Index Cond: (id = 6000000) (18 rows) ie to scan ctest01 using ctest01_id_idx for 500, and ctest02 using ctest02_id_idx for 6000000, then combine the results. If so: I'm not aware of any way to make the planner aware that that's possible. It'd be an interesting enhancement, to apply constraint exclusion to values pushed down into partitions, rather than simply to include or exclude partitions based on constraint exclusion. -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
