About the 1st item in "Partitioning Improvements", it's not just partition
pruning that's gotten better. How about writing as:
- Improved performance of processing tables with thousands of partitions
for operations that only need to touch a small number of partitions
Per discussion upthread, that covers improvements to both partition
pruning and tuple routing.
Also, could the title "2. Partitioning Improvements" be trimmed down to
"2. Partitioning", to look like "1. Indexing" for consistency?
Thanks,
Amit
