Thread: Table partitioning - is anything coming?
Hi Guys, I am not asking any firm dates but when (and if) do you think roughly it will be any enhancements on automating partitioning in Postgres? I am looking at this post - http://valgogtech.blogspot.com/2008/04/table-partitioning-automation-triggers.html and thinking of building a simple web page (attached) which will allow me to build all infrastructure to store log files in partitioned tables. As I am a super lazy guy I wanted to know if anything similar is coming soon officially from you. If anybody have any suggestions on how to make UI better or can contribute underlying code please email me on ivk {at} deepshiftlabs {dot} com Thank you Igor
