Hi,

Thanks a lot for additional tests and the new patch.

I understood Amit's proposal.  But I think the issue Thibaut reported would 
occur regardless of whether clauses have OR clauses or not as follows.
I tested a query which should output "One-Time Filter: false".

# explain select * from test2_0_20 where id = 25;
                              QUERY PLAN                               
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Append  (cost=0.00..25.91 rows=6 width=36)
   ->  Seq Scan on test2_10_20_def  (cost=0.00..25.88 rows=6 width=36)
         Filter: (id = 25)


As Amit described in the previous email, id = 25 contradicts test2_0_20's
partition constraint, so I think this clause should be ignored and we can
also handle this case in the similar way as Amit proposal.

I attached v1-delta-2.patch which fix the above issue.  

What do you think about it?


Best regards,
Yuzuko Hosoya
