I considered that when reorganizing this section, but it seemed more sensible to me to keep both pruning techniques together rather than put each one immediately below its partitioning technique.

For example: "Partitioning > can be implemented using table inheritance[...]". One possible phrase > currently begin used is: "legacy inheritance method". Yeah, maybe it'd be a good time to do that. In particular I wondered whether the section title "Partitioning and Constraint Exclusion" should be changed somehow to note the fact that it's mostly for the legacy method. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
