Each child table is given a specific upper and lower bound of data. [ PARTITION BY Ī ranged partition set is likely the most common use-case and is what pg_partman provides for time & id partitioning. The basic syntax has two parts, one for initially creating a partitioned set CREATE TABLE table_name (. The syntax and usage is fairly straight forward so let’s jump straight into it with the examples from the documentation (slightly modified) Minor revisions by me.Īfter many years of waiting, one of the major features missing from PostgreSQL is finally getting its first major step forward with the inclusion of a built in partitioning option. Rushabh Lathia, Erik Rijkers, among others. Seems likely that many other useful optimizations are also possible.Īmit Langote, reviewed and tested by Robert Haas, Ashutosh Bapat,Īmit Kapila, Rajkumar Raghuwanshi, Corey Huinker, Jaime Casanova, The implicit partitioning constraints is an example of this, but it

The tuple routing based which this patch does based on Partitions, and therefore that this will serve as a better foundationįor a variety of possible optimizations, including query planner Is hoped that it will be easier to reason about properties of A partitioning "column" can be anīecause table partitioning is less general than table inheritance, it Partitioning is limited to a single column, but range partitioning can Tables, and it doesn't handle updates that cross partition boundaries.Ĭurrently, tables can be range-partitioned or list-partitioned. Tuple routing isn't yet supported for partitions which are foreign Tuples inserted into the parent are automatically routed to theĬorrect partition, so tuple-routing ON INSERT triggers are not needed. PartitionsĬan't have extra columns and may not allow nulls unless the parentĭoes.
Multiple inheritance is notĪllowed, and partitioning and inheritance can't be mixed. Partitions and contain all of the actual data. Sense for a relation with no data of its own. Not have indexes or non-inherited constraints, since those make no The parent is called a partitioned table and is always empty it may Implement table partitioning – a=commitdiff h=f0e44751d7175fa3394da2c8f85e3ceb3cdbfe63 Table partitioning is like table inheritance and reuses much of theĮxisting infrastructure, but there are some important differences. Since I have a passing interest in partitioning in PostgreSQL, I figured I’d check out a recent commit to the development branch of PostgreSQL 10
