The query is pretty simple and standard, the behaviour (and the plan) is
totally different when it comes to a partitioned table.
Partioned table query => explain analyze SELECT "sb_logs".* FROM "sb_logs"
WHERE (device_id = 901 AND date_taken = (SELECT MAX(date_taken) FROM
sb_logs WHERE device_id = 901));
Plain table query => explain analyze SELECT "iv_logs".* FROM "iv_logs"
WHERE (device_id = 1475 AND date_taken = (SELECT MAX(date_taken) FROM
iv_logs WHERE device_id = 1475));
sb_logs and iv_logs have identical index structure and similar cardinality
(about ~12.000.000 rows the first, ~9.000.000 rows the second).

This is the way the world ends.
Not with a bang, but a whimper.
