Unless you have a really weird PK and have trouble calculating bounds,
text strings are sortable and fine to use as ranges. If you use
half-open intervals you no not even need to query them all (i.e., do a
batch fo key<'aa', then one for >='aa', <'ab', repeat, terminate with
a >='zz' ( substitute letter pairs for whatever you think will
partition your keys in adequate chunks ) ( you can find adequate
bounds scanning the pkindex and skipping, just rememberto sue
half-open intervals and cover all the key domain ).
