The syntax used conforms to most of the suggestions mentioned in http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-01/msg00413.php, barring the following: -- Specification of partition names is optional. System will be able to generate partition names in such cases. -- Sub partitioning
I was wondering if there is a need to mention the type of partition while dropping it.
E.g
ALTER table x DROP RANGE PARTITION x_part;
The type of partition (RANGE, HASH) could be dropped according to me.
We are maintaining a system catalog(pg_partition) for partition meta-data. System will look-up this table to find appropriate partition to operate on. System internally uses low-level 'C' triggers to row-movement.
Can you elaborate more on how do you handle updates with these triggers?
