Well, I'd say that scanning all partitions until the partition containing april 2007, when one of the query parameter is having timestamp before april 2007 but without an initial timestamp limit, looks normal :) [...] > Now my question is: Does the query planner in the case of partitioned tables > really have to scan all indexes in order to get the next timestamp smaller > (or larger) than a given one? Well, how can the planner know inside which partition the wanted row is? There might be no data, say, inside a couple of partitions in the past before finding the wanted row, in which case 3 partitions in the past must be scanned. -- Guillaume Cottenceau, MNC Mobile News Channel SA, an Alcatel-Lucent Company Av. de la Gare 10, 1003 Lausanne, Switzerland - direct +41 21 317 50 36
