You beat me to the punch on this one. I was wanting to use modulo operations for bin style partitioning as well, but this makes things pretty awkward as well as unintuitive. So, to the postgres gurus: What are the limitations of check constraints when used with constraint exclusion? Is this really the intended behavior?


/me too!

I have vague recollection of reading that the constraints on the child tables needed to be free of computation (ie, just straight comparison ranges) but I can't find that reference now.

But in my case, I can almost always pick the appropriate sub-table from the application level anyway.
