Thread: Partitions and Primary Keys
Morning.
I have converted a few of our standard tables to partition tables (partition by HASH) and what I have noticed is that the some of the primary index columns have been switched around after the creation of the tables and partitions.
Can anyone shed some light as to why this happens.
We are running Postgresql V12.2 on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Below is an extract displaying the difference in the index
table_name | index_name | column_names |
account_balance_beod | account_balance_beod_pkey | yyyymmdd, accountid |
account_balance_beod_part1 | account_balance_beod_part1_pkey | yyyymmdd, accountid |
account_balance_beod_part2 | account_balance_beod_part2_pkey | accountid, yyyymmdd |
account_balance_beod_part3 | account_balance_beod_part3_pkey | accountid, yyyymmdd |
account_balance_beod_part4 | account_balance_beod_part4_pkey | accountid, yyyymmdd |
account_balance_beod_part5 | account_balance_beod_part5_pkey | accountid, yyyymmdd |
