Hi Richard,

I am using postgres 8.0.1. It allows us to create TABLESPACE but I don't
know how to create PARTITION in postgres.

Can you pls tell me little more.

Thanks
Dinesh Pandey

By hand, I'm afraid (although I think people are looking into this feature
for version 8.1)

There's lots of discussion in the mail archives about how people are
handling this. You're basically looking at some combination of - partial/conditional indexes - unions - inheritance
