Yeah, I too would be curious to see if the resulting plan really needs to
do those open()s. If all the open()s being seen here are accounted for by
un-pruned partitions (across the UNION ALL) contained in the plan and
their indexes, then the patch has done enough to help. If the open()s can
be traced to pruned partitions, then there's something wrong with the patch.
Thanks,
