It seems constraint exclusion is not working with my partitioned tables and
the rules I wrote.
This is my partition deployment:
-- Master table
CREATE TABLE table_master (
setuptime timestamp with time zone NOT NULL,
...
};
-- Partitions
CREATE TABLE table_p01 INHERITS (table_master);
CREATE TABLE table_p02 INHERITS (table_master);
...
CREATE TABLE table_p12 INHERITS (table_master);
-- Constraints: one partition per month
ALTER TABLE table_p01 ADD CONSTRAINT chk_table_p01_setuptime CHECK
(EXTRACT(MONTH FROM setuptime) = 1::DOUBLE PRECISION);
ALTER TABLE table_p02 ADD CONSTRAINT chk_table_p02_setuptime CHECK
(EXTRACT(MONTH FROM setuptime) = 2::DOUBLE PRECISION);
...
ALTER TABLE table_p12 ADD CONSTRAINT chk_table_p12_setuptime CHECK
(EXTRACT(MONTH FROM setuptime) = 12::DOUBLE PRECISION);
-- Insert rules for each partition table
CREATE OR REPLACE RULE rule_master_insert_01 AS ON INSERT TO table_master
WHERE (EXTRACT(MONTH FROM setuptime) = 1::double precision)
DO INSTEAD INSERT INTO table_p01 VALUES (
NEW.setuptime
}
...
-- Index on setuptime for each partition table
CREATE INDEX idx_table_01_setuptime ON table_p01 USING btree (setuptime);
...
-- Constraint exclusion
> show constraint_exclusion
on
-- Execution plan
Explain select * from table_master where setuptime between
'2007.04.01'::timestamptz and '2007.06.01'::timestamptz

The plan shows that it scans the indexes for all partitions when it should
only scan indexes for partitions 4 and 5. Is my assumption correct? If it
is, could someone point me out what I am doing wrong? I can't figure out why
it doesn't work.
I think the caveats mentioned in the manual about constraint exclusion have
been taken into account here but I might have missed something.

Fernando.
