[ shrug ... ] We do not promise that the current partitioning scheme scales to the number of partitions where this is likely to be an interesting concern. *After* we have a real partitioning scheme, it might be worth worrying about this sort of problem, if it's still a problem then. > Are we talking "moderate", "hard" or "nearly impossible"? We're talking "wasted effort on a dead-end situation". The time that would go into this would be much better spent on real partitioning. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
