Up until now, pg_plan_advice has had a feature that allows an advice target to mention a partition name but omit the partition schema; that is, something like SEQ_SCAN(foo/bar) forces a sequential scan on every child of table foo whose partition name is bar, regardless of the schema in which bar appears. However, that feature turns out to have a nasty design flaw: while advice enforcement handles this case just fine, the advice feedback code doesn't know about it and will mark such advice as "matched, failed" even when everything worked perfectly. Unfortunately, there seems to be no simple code fix for this problem. Since the release of PostgreSQL 19 is imminent, take the conservative course and revert this feature of pg_plan_advice. In other words, require the partition schema whenever the partition name is present. You must now write e.g. SEQ_SCAN(foo/public.bar) rather than just SEQ_SCAN(foo/bar). This doesn't affect any cases where automatically generated advice is supplied, since generated advice has always included the partition schema anyway. Manually written advice will have to conform to the new, stricter rule. For a later release, we can consider whether to again relax this restriction in some way, but now is not the time to design new things.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
