Help with an interesting Postgres question: Why isn't an Index Only Scan used on a partition accessed via the parent table?.

CREATE TABLE tbl (
   section   text
 , status    text
 , ct        integer  -- "count" is a reserved word in standard SQL
);

INSERT INTO tbl VALUES 
  ('A', 'Active', 1), ('A', 'Inactive', 2)
, ('B', 'Active', 4), ('B', 'Inactive', 5)
                    , ('C', 'Inactive', 7);  -- ('C', 'Active') is missing

CREATE TABLE



INSERT 0 5


-- 1 param
SELECT *
FROM   crosstab(
   'SELECT section, status, ct
    FROM   tbl
    ORDER  BY 1,2'  -- needs to be "ORDER BY 1,2" here
   ) AS ct ("Section" text, "Active" int, "Inactive" int);
