Hey all,
So I have a master table called "flows" and 400 partitions in the format
"flow_*" where * is equal to some epoch.
Each partition contains ~700,000 rows and has a check such that 1 field is equal
to a value:
"flows_1107246900_interval_check" CHECK ("interval" = '2005-02-01
03:35:00'::timestamp without time zone)
Each partition has a different and unique non-overlapping check.
This query takes about 5 seconds to execute:
dp=> select count(*) from flows_1107246900;
count
--------
696836
(1 row)
This query has been running for 10 minutes now and hasn't stopped:
dp=> select count(*) from flows where interval='2005-02-01 03:35:00';
Isn't partitioning supposed to make the second query almost as fast? My WHERE
is exactly the partitioning constraint, therefore it only needs to go to 1
partition and execute the query.
Why would it take magnitudes longer to run? Am i misunderstanding something?
Thanks!
George
