Hello,
I have a typical star schema, having dimension tables "product", "calendar"
and "country" and a fact table "sales".
This fact table is partitionned by time (range by month) and country (list).
Will query like:
select product.name, calendar.month, sum(sales.net_price)
from sales
inner join product on (product.id = sales.cust_id)
inner join country on (country.id = sales.country_id)
inner join calendar on (calendar.id = sales.calendar_id)
where
country.name = 'HERE'
and calendar.year = '2017'
group by product.name,calendar.month
be able to identify needed partitions ?
AFAIU partition pruning, it works only with the partition key columns.
So, if country.name and calendar.year are the partition keys partition
pruning would identify the needed partitions from those tables. But
planner doesn't know that calendar.year is somehow related to
calendar.id and then transfer that knowledge so that partitions of
sales can be identified.
If you can get your code to perform a star transformation on this type
of query, then you might see some partition pruning.
