This doesn't help.

A cast is not needed in this case, as the following query
shows, where the query planner already is able to reduce
the scan to the right tables:

testdb_part=> select ts from mwdb.t_mv where zr=3622 and ts > '2005-12-31 22:00:00' and ts < '2006-01-01 02:00:00';
           ts
- ------------------------
 2005-12-31 23:00:00+01
 2006-01-01 00:00:00+01
 2006-01-01 01:00:00+01
(3 rows)


testdb_part=> explain analyze select ts from mwdb.t_mv where zr=3622 and ts > '2005-12-31 22:00:00' and ts <
'2006-01-0102:00:00';

Here, two child tables are involved (t_mv_200512 and t_mv_200601)
and the query only uses those two, even without cast of the constants
in the where clause.
