So try it: regression=# create table tab (x int); CREATE TABLE regression=# create view v_foo as select * from tab where x < 5; CREATE VIEW regression=# explain select * from v_foo where x = 10; QUERY PLAN ---------------------------------------------------- Seq Scan on tab (cost=0.00..46.00 rows=4 width=4) Filter: ((x < 5) AND (x = 10)) (2 rows) regression=# set constraint_exclusion to 1; SET regression=# explain select * from v_foo where x = 10; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------ Result (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=0) One-Time Filter: false (2 rows) (This is with HEAD, but I think 8.2 can do it too.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
