COPY and partitioning - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi

   I understand v8.1 implements table partitioning.  Very exciting!

   I have a big table (30 G) that is a real headache.  I'd like to
partition it.  My plan is the following: (1) use pg_dump -t to
dump the data; (2) create a partitioning schema with check constraints;
and (3) repopulate using the COPY utility.

   My question: does the COPY utility consult check constraints
before populating tables?

   Thanks as always.
