In the context of PostgreSQL declarative partitioning, what is the primary advantage of using RANGE partitioning over LIST partitioning when dealing with time-series data that has irregular intervals but a defined upper bound?
A database administrator is experiencing performance degradation with a large parent table that has been partitioned using declarative partitioning in PostgreSQL. Upon investigation, they notice that queries targeting a specific partition are still performing poorly, even though the query planner is correctly identifying the target partition. What is a likely cause of this issue and how can it be addressed?
Consider a scenario where a PostgreSQL database uses declarative partitioning with a `HASH` partitioning scheme on a `user_id` column. A query is executed to retrieve all users whose `user_id` falls within a specific range, e.g., `WHERE user_id BETWEEN 10000 AND 20000`. The query planner, however, is choosing to scan *all* partitions. Why might this occur with HASH partitioning, and what is the recommended strategy to mitigate this?
