Ah, there it is. :-)

Thanks for that explanation.  I was wrong in my previous email in saying
that having the extra cast (::cstring) isn't related to partition pruning
failing.  It IS related, as Andrew pointed out in his reply.  Having the
"::cstring" in the expression ('MONTH'::cstring::resolution) makes the
expression non-immutable, which means the planner won't use it to perform
pruning.  But, as you might be able to see, that's not really a bug of
partition pruning code, it's just how things work.

Andrew also mentioned a workaround in his reply to use setString such that
JDBC doesn't pass 'MONTH' as of type 'text' and instead as of unknown
type.  I could't find the documentation of Postgres JDBC's setString to
see how one can do that, but maybe you can try it out.

Thanks,
Amit
