Partition pruning via query rewrite

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with query pruning via query rewrite are described. One example method includes receiving a query on a partitioned table that will result in a first query plan that includes accessing a local domain index on each partition in the database. The query is rewritten to generate a second query that will result in a second query plan that includes accessing a global domain index instead of the local domain index on each partition in the database.
