I came across a poorly performing report with a subplan like this:
ts=# explain SELECT * FROM eric_enodeb_cell_metrics WHERE start_time BETWEEN
'2019-01-01 04:00' AND '2019-01-01 05:00' OR start_time BETWEEN '2019-01-02
04:00' AND '2019-01-02 05:00';

Is there some reason why the partition constraints aren't excluding any of the
index scans ? In the actual problem case, there's a longer list of "OR"
conditions and it's even worse.
The partitions looks like this:
Partition of: eric_enodeb_cell_metrics FOR VALUES FROM ('2019-01-02
00:00:00-05') TO ('2019-01-03 00:00:00-05')
Indexes:
"eric_enodeb_cell_20190102_idx" brin (start_time) WITH
(autosummarize='true'), tablespace "oldindex"
"eric_enodeb_cell_20190102_site_idx" btree (site_id) WITH
(fillfactor='100'), tablespace "oldindex"
Check constraints:
"eric_enodeb_cell_20190102_start_time_check" CHECK (start_time >=
'2019-01-02 00:00:00-05'::timestamp with time zone AND start_time < '2019-01-03
00:00:00-05'::timestamp with time zone)
Tablespace: "zfs"
And:
pg_get_partition_constraintdef | ((start_time IS NOT NULL) AND (start_time >=
'2019-01-02 00:00:00-05'::timestamp with time zone) AND (start_time <
'2019-01-03 00:00:00-05'::timestamp with time zone))

Thanks in advance.
