Looks like the tables with about 100+ values in the check list gets pulled
in, even with constraint exclusion on. I created a simple test case. One
parent table with just one column, and 3 child tables with one column.
test=# \d+ parent
Table "public.parent"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description
--------+---------+-----------+---------+--------------+-------------
id | integer | | plain | |
Child tables: child1,
child2,
child3
test=# \d+ child1
Table "public.child1"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description
--------+---------+-----------+---------+--------------+-------------
id | integer | | plain | |
Check constraints:
"c" CHECK (id = ANY (ARRAY[1, 2]))
Inherits: parent
test=# \d+ child2
Table "public.child2"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description
--------+---------+-----------+---------+--------------+-------------
id | integer | | plain | |
Check constraints:
"c" CHECK (id = ANY (ARRAY[3, 4]))
Inherits: parent
test=# \d+ child3
Table "public.child3"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description
--------+---------+-----------+---------+--------------+-------------
id | integer | | plain | |
Check constraints:
"c3" CHECK (id = ANY (ARRAY[5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35,
36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54,
55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73,
74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92,
93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100]))
Inherits: parent
test=# explain analyze select * from parent where id = 1;
QUERY PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Append (cost=0.00..40.00 rows=13 width=4) (actual time=0.002..0.002
rows=0 loops=1)
-> Seq Scan on parent (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=4) (actual
time=0.001..0.001 rows=0 loops=1)
Filter: (id = 1)
* -> Seq Scan on child1 (cost=0.00..40.00 rows=12 width=4) (actual
time=0.000..0.000 rows=0 loops=1)*
* Filter: (id = 1)*
Total runtime: 0.029 ms
If I increase the number of values a bit more.....
with t as (select generate_series(*5,110*) x ) select 'alter table child3
add constraint c3 check ( id in ( ' || string_agg(x::text,',') || ' ))
; ' from t;
test=# explain analyze select * from parent where id = 1;
