There is no way to add a partition to an existing table. All you need to do create a new table with the partition on the desired column and copy data from old to new then do alter table name.

How to add partitions to the existing table in PostgreSQL
for ex, below is my table definition:
CREATE TABLE ot.employee
(
empno smallint NOT NULL,
ename character varying(20),
job character varying(20),
deptno smallint
)
Now I would like to add partition to deptno column
I don't see any alter table command to add the partition to the existing table.
Please help me on this.
