Except for the simplest partitioning cases, you'll be much better off using a trigger on the parent table to direct inserts/updates/deletes to the children. As a bonus, using a trigger makes it a lot more realistic to deal with an update moving data between partitions. -- Jim Nasby jim@xxxxxxxxx EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com 512.569.9461 (cell)
