Sure. The point of the email was to ask whether there was some consideration of which I had not thought which makes this utterly unthinkable; the answer at least so far seems to be "no". I think it will be interesting to see what happens with the faster partition pruning patch. If it doesn't run into a problem with this, then there's no urgent need to do anything here. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
