The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4721 Logged by: Eric Thompson Email address: eric.thomp...@salliemae.com PostgreSQL version: 8.3.7 Operating system: RedHat ES 5.2 Description: All sub-tables incorrectly included in search plan for partitioned table Details:
Greetings, First, let me thank you for developing and maintaining PostgreSQL. I recently noticed search plans for partitioned tables are no longer excluding partitions that should be excluded with constraint_exclusion turned on. I have included the steps needed to reproduce the problem. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks again for your time, Eric -------------------------------------- $ uname -a Linux 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:16:15 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga) $ createdb test $ psql test Welcome to psql 8.3.7, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
