Hi,
Thanks for your work, our prototype runs OK. PostgreSQL 11 and its now fully functional partitioning feature is our validated choice to replace a well-known proprietary RDBMS in 100+ public hospitals for our dss application.
Best regards
Phil

With the current coding, yes, it is...

The first time I'd seen that make_partition_pruneinfo *always* gets called
from create_append_plan if rel->baserestrictinfo is non-NIL, I had
wondered whether we couldn't avoid doing it for the cases for which we'll
end up throwing away all that work anyway. But looking at the code now,
it may be a bit hard -- analyze_partkey_exprs(), which determines whether
we'll need any execution-time pruning, could not be called any sooner.
So, okay, I have to admit that my quoted argument isn't that strong.
Thanks,
Amit
