Partitioning

Hello,

I am using partitioning with around 100 sub-tables. Each sub-table is
around 11GB and partitioned on the 'id' column. I have an index on the id
column on each sub-table.

Is it possible to get a query like the following working using constraint
exclusion, or am I doomed to do index/sequential scans of every sub-table?

I want to select all rows which have an id which is in another query, so
something like:

WITH idlist as (SELECT id from othertable)
SELECT id from mastertable WHERE id = idlist.id);

I am guessing that I am not getting constraint exclusion to work as the
planner doesn't know the outcome of my subquery at plan time?

Any tricks I am overlooking?
