hmm, I see. partition-wise join is able to remove eliminate partitions on the other side of the join that can't be matched to: # set enable_partition_wise_join=on; SET # explain select count(*) from ab ab1 inner join ab ab2 on ab1.a=ab2.a where ab1.a between 1 and 2 and ab2.a between 100000000 and 100000001; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------ Aggregate (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=8) -> Result (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=0 width=0) One-Time Filter: false (3 rows) # \d+ ab Table "public.ab" Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage | Stats target | Description --------+---------+-----------+----------+---------+---------+--------------+------------- a | integer | | | | plain | | b | integer | | | | plain | | Partition key: RANGE (a) Partitions: ab_p1 FOR VALUES FROM (1) TO (100000000), ab_p2 FOR VALUES FROM (100000000) TO (200000000) -- David Rowley http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
