Is there a limit to the number of partitions a table can have in PostgreSQL?
The reason I as is we are looking again at partitioning our databases with the possibility of doing the partitioning by year, month, or even day. However, we are required by HIPPA to keep 7 years of data, and we are planning on maintaining the data online in our databases. While I can't imagine year or month being a problem, 7 years of daily partitions would be 2555+ partitions per table. Can PostgreSQL handle this many partitions per table? Is that feasible, or would the cost of the rules become to expensive to be feasible?
Thanks for any comments.
