Do you have better ideas? > For the third query, a rough investigation shows that, the qual 'sl = 5' and 'sc.sl = sg.sl' will form an equivalence class and generate two implied equalities: 'sc.sl = 5' and 'sg.sl = 5', which can be pushed down to the base rels. One consequence of the deduction is when constructing restrict lists for the joinrel, we lose the original restrict 'sc.sl = sg.sl', and this would fail the check have_partkey_equi_join(), which checks if there exists an equi-join condition for each pair of partition keys. As a result, this joinrel would not be considered as an input to further partitionwise joins. We need to fix this. Thanks Richard
