Yes, it really worked well. Thank you for the explanation, it wasn't so
obvious for me as well. That way, I think that the patch from [1] covers
many cases of joins targeting a single partition / foreign server.
However, there is an issue with aggregates as well. For a query like:
SELECT
count(*)
FROM
documents
WHERE
company_id = 5;
It would be great to teach planner to understand, that it's a
partition-wise aggregate as well, even without GROUP BY company_id,
which doesn't always help as well. I'll try to look closer on this
problem, but if you have any thoughts about it, then I'd be glad to
know.
