Dates are granular to days, yet you have created partitions cleanly on month boundaries. Same with timestamps. Nobody is forcing you to create one partition per microsecond. Anyway, I don't think what you want is possible. Your partition needs to be formed by columns that are in the primary key, and your primary key columns are already defined. You can partition by guid, or partition by tid, or partition by seq, or any combination thereof. You cannot partition by the date column. The error about expressions being unusable is just a forerunner. -- Álvaro Herrera 39°49'30"S 73°17'W — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/
