Query 4 is just a union of queries 2/3 which pick the right partitions. Do you see anything else wrongwith this approach? I'm not sure I'd want to class it as a bug. I think we could call it a limitation of pruning with multiple levels of partitioned tables. The problem is that pruning for the "event" table matches both of its partitions; event_open and event_closed. Since event_closed is also a partitioned table, pruning is also executed on that partitioned table. When that pruning is done, it processes the WHERE clause conditions and only finds date_raised conditions in an OR branch, therefore it cannot prune since the other OR does not contain the same conditions. There is some code in gen_partprune_steps() that makes use of the partitioning qual of the partitioned table, but the comment there explains that it's only intended for DEFAULT partitions in cases when partition keys are shared between a partitioned table and its child partitioned table. Adding the partitioning qual in this case wouldn't help since the partition keys are different at both levels. You could get what you want using two columns in a RANGE partitioned table, such as: create table event ( id uuid not null, cleared boolean not null, date_raised timestamp without time zone not null, date_cleared timestamp without time zone, primary key (id, date_raised, cleared) ) PARTITION BY RANGE (cleared, date_raised); CREATE TABLE event_open PARTITION OF event FOR VALUES FROM (false, MINVALUE) TO (false, MAXVALUE); CREATE TABLE event_closed_y2024_m01 PARTITION OF event FOR VALUES FROM (true,'2024-01-01') to (true,'2024-02-01'); CREATE TABLE event_closed_y2024_m02 PARTITION OF event FOR VALUES FROM (true,'2024-02-01') to (true,'2024-03-01'); explain select * from event where not cleared OR (cleared and date_raised > '2024-01-01' AND date_raised < '2024-01-02'); David
