Thanks !

When I do

CREATE TABLE mytab (
a integer NOT NULL,
b integer NOT NULL,
c integer,
d integer
) PARTITION BY HASH (b);

and create 64 partitions;

CREATE TABLE mytab_p00 PARTITION OF mytab FOR VALUES WITH (MODULUS 64,
REMAINDER 0);
...
CREATE TABLE mytab_p63 PARTITION OF mytab FOR VALUES WITH (MODULUS 64,
REMAINDER 63);

and associated indexes

CREATE INDEX idx_p00 ON mytab_p00 USING btree (b, a);
...
CREATE INDEX idx_p63 ON mytab_p63 USING btree (b, a);

Populate the database, and do ANALYZE.

Given

EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, VERBOSE, BUFFERS ON) SELECT a, b, c, d FROM mytab
WHERE b = 42

gives

Append
-> Index Scan using idx_p00 (cost rows=7) (actual rows=0)
...
-> Index Scan using idx_p63 (cost rows=7) (actual rows=0)

E.g. all partitions are being scanned. Of course one partition will
contain the rows I'm looking for.

Jesper
