Hello,

I have a typical star schema, having dimension tables "product", "calendar"
and "country" and a fact table "sales".
This fact table is partitionned by time (range by month) and country (list).

Will query like:

select product.name, calendar.month, sum(sales.net_price)
from sales
inner join product on (product.id = sales.cust_id)
inner join country on (country.id = sales.country_id)
inner join calendar on (calendar.id = sales.calendar_id)
where
country.name = 'HERE'
and calendar.year = '2017'
group by product.name,calendar.month

be able to identify needed partitions ?

nb: the query has predicates on dimension tables not on columns used for
fact table partitioning:
- country.name vs sales.country_id,
- calendar.year vs sales.calendar_id.

Will this be part of postgreSQL 11 ?

Thanks in advance
Regards
PAscal
