Re: Issue related with patitioned table:How can I quickly determine which child table my record is in,given a specific primary key value?

Here's my PG version:

PostgreSQL 11.3 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36), 64-bit

Hope this helps.

Thanks you Luca.

Yes my intention was " SELECT (hashint2(6365::SMALLINT)% 3) ", that's my mistake, thank you for pointing out.

Actually I just did a simple query in my single table:

SELECT distinct(symbol_id) FROM xxxx_0

and I got these results:

"symbol_id"
6521
1478
1964
5642
7470
1158
2429
9882
4542
5196
9178
8303
1091
9435
8133
1437
9072

From these results I can tell the route to a table is not even related with the mod function, right?
So It's hard for me to do any kind of guesses...

shouldn't this be modulus 3 instead of 10?
The problem is that record 6365 is not where you expected to be?

As far as I know, there is no easy user-level way to get the route to
a table, but you can juggle with the expression that defined each
table and make a good guess.
However, your query should give a good idea:

# SELECT 'my_table_' || (hashint2(6365::smallint)% 3);
?column?
