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

Hi Luca,

Yes, that's the answer,It really works!
Thanks again Luca, you actually saved my day!

Because it is the wrong function.
According to \d+ on a child table and partbounds.c the function called
is satisfied_hash_partition:

testdb=# select satisfies_hash_partition('153221'::oid, 3, 0, 6521);
satisfies_hash_partition
--------------------------
t
(1 row)

testdb=# select satisfies_hash_partition('153221'::oid, 3, 1, 6521);
satisfies_hash_partition
--------------------------
f
(1 row)

The first argument is the table id (partitioned one, the root), the
second is the reminder, third is the partition table, last is your
value.
Therefore I suspect you have to iterate on your partition numbers from
0 to x to see if a value fits in that partition, and then extract the
table name from that.

Hope its clear.
