It's possible to do it like that for discrete types like dates. It's not possible for continuous types. Exercise: try to write a partitioning rule for a "numeric" column that classifies every value into one and only one partition, if the partitioning behavior is like A <= X <= B. (No fair restricting the precision of the numeric.) regards, tom lane
