I have a couple hundred tables t1,t2,...tN that I are free standing. I would like to make them members of a partitioned table t, via inheritence. All the tables have the same layout/format. The method that I am currently using is as follows:
create table x1(check(part=1)) inherits(t); insert into x1 select * from t1; drop table t1; alter table x1 rename to t1;
It works fine, except that it is quite slow. Is there a way of just updating "pg_inherits" and some other table such that postgres is happy without actually doing the inserts?
