Hi,
We have an issue with one of our partitioned tables. It has a column with
timestamp without time zone type, and we had to partition it daily. To do that,
we created the following constraints like this example:
CHECK (to_char(impression_time, 'YYYYMMDD'::text) = '20170202'::text)
The problem we’re facing is no matter how we’re trying to select from it, it
scans through every partitions.
Parent table:
Table "public.dfp_in_network_impressions"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------
impression_time | timestamp without time zone |
nexus_id | character varying |
line_item_id | bigint |
creative_id | bigint |
ad_unit_id | bigint |
Triggers:
insert_dfp_in_network_impressions_trigger BEFORE INSERT ON
dfp_in_network_impressions FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE
dfp_in_network_impressions_insert_function()
Number of child tables: 214 (Use \d+ to list them.)
One example of the child tables:
Table "dfp_in_network_impressions.dfp_in_network_impressions_20170202"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------
impression_time | timestamp without time zone |
nexus_id | character varying |
line_item_id | bigint |
creative_id | bigint |
ad_unit_id | bigint |
Indexes:
"idx_dfp_in_network_impressions_20170202_creative_id" btree (creative_id)
"idx_dfp_in_network_impressions_20170202_line_item_id" btree (line_item_id)
Check constraints:
"dfp_in_network_impressions_20170202_impression_time_check" CHECK
(to_char(impression_time, 'YYYYMMDD'::text) = '20170202'::text)
Inherits: dfp_in_network_impressions
Confirmed that the records are in the correct partitions.
We even tried to query with the exact same condition as it is defined in the
check constraint:
explain select * from dfp_in_network_impressions where to_char(impression_time,
'YYYYMMDD'::text) = '20170202'::text;

… Etc.
It scans through every partitions. Shouldn’t it only scan the
dfp_in_network_impressions.dfp_in_network_impressions_20170202 child table? Or
we missing something?
Any advice/help would highly appreciated.

I set it to “on”.
