Re: Performance issue after creating partitions - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Thank you, Doug and Malden for your inputs.

As suggested by Doug I tried replacing the trunc() with below command:
“ order_date >= to_date(..) and order_date < to_date(..) + interval '1' day”

What happens here is: My query has 2tables : A and B, both are having an inner join on company code and order date. We
haveA.Company_code, A.order_date filter in the where condition which was having trun() previously but now I replaced it
withthe command suggested by Doug. The company_code filter is working for both tables A and B, the query is searching
onlythe partitions particular to that country code. However for order_date condition, the partitions for A table are
beingutilized correctly I.e the query is searching directly in only one partition based on that date. But for table B,
itis still searching all the partitions, it is not applying the where A.order_date condition for B tables partitions
whilesearching. 
I do not understand why the A.order_date filter is not being applied to table B where as A.company_code is being
appliedto both tables. 

Thanks and Regards,
J. Teja Sri.

Itgoes to the correct partition directly and gets the data.
