Unless you have a really weird PK and have trouble calculating bounds, text strings are sortable and fine to use as ranges. If you use half-open intervals you no not even need to query them all (i.e., do a batch fo key<'aa', then one for >='aa', <'ab', repeat, terminate with a >='zz' ( substitute letter pairs for whatever you think will partition your keys in adequate chunks ) ( you can find adequate bounds scanning the pkindex and skipping, just rememberto sue half-open intervals and cover all the key domain ).
