Re: Partitions not Working as Expected

We have also run into this with our production databases. We worked around the issue by adding an index to each child
tableso that it scans all the child index's instead of the child table's. For us this made a large performance
improvement.

CREATE INDEX part_test_1_idx ON part_test_1
  USING btree (part_col);

CREATE INDEX part_test_2_idx ON part_test_2
  USING btree (part_col);

Same issue. This seems to work, though I'm not entirely sure of the
implications:

UPDATE pg_proc
    SET provolatile = 'i'
  WHERE proname = 'date_in';
