Hi, It's been covered a few times in the past, http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/BANLkTimfT4OHQKb6Y7M4wQrffpWNUtPqJQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/partial-indexes-not-used-on-parameterized-queries-td2121027.html but in a nutshell, partial indices do not play nicely with prepared statements because whether the index is valid or not cannot be known at query plan time. I am curious if there is any development on this? I have looked around but don't see any activity (whether Simon's "I have a patch but don't hold your breath" or otherwise). I ask largely because we use prepared statements everywhere and this makes it very hard to use partial indices, which would offer us significant performance gains. Does anyone know of any acceptable workaround? Is there continued interest in maybe improving the PostgreSQL behavior in this case? Thanks!
