1. Table partitioning - is anything coming?

   Igor Kryltsov <kryltsov@gmail.com> — 2010-07-03T01:55:38Z

   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

   The earliest possible date for that is the summer of 2011 when 
   PostgreSQL 9.1 might be released:  
   http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_9.1_Development_Plan
   
   An outline of the plans is at 
   http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Table_partitioning and the current patch 
   submitted to help in this direction is due to be reviewed this month:  
   https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=266
   
   P.S. Attaching PNGs instead of writing text out will annoy some 
   contributors here, that's not something you want to get into the habit 
   of on any of the mailing lists here.
