What if I need more columns to set the partitions?
You can do so by using command like this,
CREATE TABLE emp (
emp_id int not null primary key,
designation text not null,
location varchar(50) not null,
jdate date not null,
ctc float not null
)
PARTITION BY RANGE (jdate, emp_id)
(
emp_500 (START '01-01-1980',1 END '01-01-1990',500),
emp_1500(START '01-01-1990',500 END '01-01-2000',1500+10),
emp_4000 (START '1 Jan 2000',1500+20 END 'Jan 1, 2010', 4000-50)
);
You can have multiple columns as partition key attributes and values for these attributes should appear in the order specified.
