Yeah.. this is a horrible, horrible plan. It does look like you've got
some serious data tho, at least. Basically, PG is sequentially scanning
through all of the tables in your partitioning setup. What is
constraint_exclusion set to? What version of PG is this? Do the
results og this query look at all correct to you?
Have you considered an index on elevation, btw? How many records in
that city table are there and how many are actually in that range?
Thanks,
