I have several tables that we have partitioned by physical location.  This 
seems to give us the best overall performance when doing location specific 
queries.  I have a few questions.

1. Is the planner/optimizer intelligent enough to know when we are not doing a 
query based on location?  For example we might have a trailer that is used by 
multiple locations and we need to know all of the locations where that trailer 
has been used.  Other queries might look for a specific work order that could 
only be in one of the partitions.

2.  How are views handled with partitioned tables?  I don't find anything in 
the documentation that tells me how views are handled.  Depending on the view 
will it only use the partitioned table or will it use the master table?

Best Regards

Michael Gould
