Manu, not sure if you are referring to Kedar's patch I reviewed earlier in July, but that patch didn't implement anything like the right internals for this to work. As Tom says, what we need is a single internal data structure that describes all the partitions. That can then be used to automatically route inserts, perform the push down merge joins and speed-up constraint exclusion. We should build this once and store it in the relcache for the parent relation and so would need some changes in relcache invalidation as well to make sure child ddl changes invalidate that. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
