Hi,

I’m wondering what is the syntax for detaching multiple partitions in 1 ALTER TABLE statement.

I’ve tried this:


# ALTER TABLE movement_legs DETACH PARTITION movement_legs_2019_06_20_11_15, DETACH PARTITION movement_legs_2019_06_20_11_20;
psql: ERROR:  syntax error at or near ","
LINE 1: ...gs DETACH PARTITION movement_legs_2019_06_20_11_15, DETACH P…


The documentation suggests "DETACH PARTITION can be combined into a list of multiple alterations to be applied together”:

Docs say this" All the forms of ALTER TABLE that act on a single table, except RENAME , SET SCHEMA , ATTACH
PARTITION , and DETACH PARTITION  can be combined into a list of multiple alterations to be
applied together."

Perhaps a comma would be helpful, but its clear that you can do multiple detaches in one command at present.

But it sounds like a great feature.
