mysql查询所有分区表_mysql分区后查询总是扫描所有分区

使用如下sql语句创建表：

create table t(

name varchar(20) not null,

age tinyint unsigned,

created_at datetime

) partition by range(month(created_at))(

partition p1 values less than(2),

partition p2 values less than(3),

partition p3 values less than(4),

partition p4 values less than(5),

partition p5 values less than(6),

partition p6 values less than(7),

partition p7 values less than(8),

partition p8 values less than(9),

partition p9 values less than(10),

partition p10 values less than(11),

partition p11 values less than(12),

partition p12 values less than(13)

);

插入数据查看分区的存储情况如下：

select partition_name, PARTITION_DESCRIPTION, PARTITION_EXPRESSION, table_rows from information_schema.partitions where table_name = 't'

但是在查询数据时总是需要查询所有分区

explain select * from t where created_at < '2018-04-01';

正常情况下不应该只查询前3个分区吗，为什么在这里会扫描所有分区呢？
