we did empirical test on a partitioned table with ~50 million rows, and filtering from a view (which includes an explode() on an array column) vs filtering the underlining table on a specific partition yielding similar results.i also noticed that an "explain dependency" statement on both the view and the table shows the analizer does indeed pick up the right partition on both cases (view and table).

My questing is related to how and if the query optimizer can detect possible uses of partitioned column, even if it might be "masked" by a view (or multiple view).Empirical tests, by the show, suggest that indeed, partition optimization does take place. regards, cobby.
