Thread: Partitioned tables, rules, triggers

Partitioned tables, rules, triggers

From

Hi,

I have two questions on the above:

1. I found in some postings recommended to use triggers instead of
rules. Is this documented somewhere?

2. When using trigger, any examples on how to update the trigger
dynamically when tables are added or deleted from the partitioned?

Thanks,
Amin

Wow, that is a great presentation.  I now feel like I'll be missing
out on not going to the pgsql conference this year.

I'm with you on that.  Since I went to Portland for the mini-Postgres
Day and OSCON just a couple of months ago I couldn't really ask my
company to cover another trip to the same place so soon.  But,
there's always PGCon next May!
