Dear All,
Good morning, I have a small doubt regarding a partitioned table, which has its "mother" table and many "daughter" tables, well the main question is... I need to reduce the size of my partitioned table, I can simply delete ( drop table) the oldest daughter tables??? or it is not recommended....or maybe there is another method to do this??
From already thank you very much

see here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-partitioning.html#DDL-PARTITIONING-OVERVIEWDropping an individual partition using
DROP TABLE
, or doingALTER TABLE DETACH PARTITION
, is far faster than a bulk operation. These commands also entirely avoid theVACUUM
overhead caused by a bulkDELETE
.
