Thread: Create Table and Index Definition for Partitions

Create Table and Index Definition for Partitions

From
"Jerry Champlin"
Date:
I'm currently putting together a tool to migrate schema definitions from Oracle to PostgreSQL.  It's written in perl and easily extensible by others to add functionality I don't care to migrate.  I need to know how to properly format create table, alter table, create index and alter index commands for the partitioning functionality about to be released.  Could someone please provide a draft of that documentation or point me to the appropriate place in the code tree to figure it out.
 
Thanks

First off, there's already a tool to do this... ora2pg

The functionality just released is for Tablespaces, not Partitions, which is
a different concept altogether.

The docs are available on-line for the SQL DDL statements you mention.
Look at the docs via
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/index.html
