Is there a way to partition a table in production without downtime? Or extension that allows it.
Thanks!
Zero downtime (or without a table lock at some point) is not possible with native partitioning since you cannot convert an existing table into a natively partitioned table. However, it is possible to do it with very little downtime if the circumstances allow. I've laid out a method of doing this with pg_partman here - https://github.com/pgpartman/pg_partman/blob/master/doc/pg_partman_howto_native.md
