Hello, Your constraint column is of 'timestamp with time zone' and the query uses 'date'. The comparison between them is an operator based on a static, non-immutable function so constraint exclusion doesn't work. SELECT o.oprname, o.oprcode, p.provolatile FROM pg_operator o join pg_proc p on (p.oid = o.oprcode) WHERE oprname = '<' AND oprleft = 'timestamp with time zone'::regtype AND oprright = 'date'::regtype; oprname | oprcode | provolatile ---------+---------------------+------------- < | timestamptz_lt_date | s # '<' is a random selection. Any comparison ops will do. The following query instead will do what you wanted. Only the operand of '>=' is changed. EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM measurement_events WHERE measurement_source_id='df86917e-8df0-11e1-8f8f-525400e76ceb' AND measurement_time >= '2015-01-01 00:00:00+0' LIMIT 1; The function in the expression used for exclusion is immutable. SELECT o.oprname, o.oprcode, p.provolatile FROM pg_operator o join pg_proc p on (p.oid = o.oprcode) WHERE oprname = '<' AND oprleft = 'timestamp with time zone'::regtype AND oprright = 'timestamp with time zone::regtype; oprname | oprcode | provolatile ---------+----------------+------------- < | timestamptz_lt | i The details about this in the following page, http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/ddl-partitioning.html > 5.9.6 Cavert regards, -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center Jan 2015 06:42:53 -0700, Rob Sargent <robjsargent@xxxxxxxxx> wrote in <31FED87E-D31B-4CF9-93F8-CC0F131CB6DF@xxxxxxxxx> > I don't understand having both UUID and time stamp in your PK?
