Hi Kashif

Is there a steps to create the the partition tables ? 

Yes, you can check the following link

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-partitioning.html 

I mean to say first create the tables and then insert the data lastly create index on them ?

It's up to you which way you follow

You can create the table and indexes first and insert data later and vice versa.

What I did I created the table at once with all partition tables and indexes and then I inserted data by insert script. Is it ok? 

Yes 

And I also created the indexes globally on the parent table the partition tables automatically took the indexes. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Wasim

Hi

When you create an index on Partition table then the index is created for all the Partitions so when you re-index then you need to re-index each partition separately.

Hi All,

I have partitioned a table and levied indexes on it but when I do maintenance activities like reindexing it's not happening and the error is index not present on the partitioned table.

Please highlight some points on it, Is I am missing something?

Thanks,

Wasim
