Hi,
I am using postgres 8.1.3 for this. If this has been dealt with later, please disregard. And this is not a complaint or a request, I am just curious, so I know how to best construct my queries.
There is a unique index mapping domains to domain_ids.
views_ts specifies a partitioned table, where views_ts_2007_04_01 is the only partition matching the range given in the query.
My goal is to produce summaries of counts of rows for each day within a given range (can be days, months, years).
The issue: the second query results in a lower cost estimate. I am wondering why the second query plan was not chosen for the first query.
Thanks!
Brian
