Yes, it is little bit annoying but I like it. You don't need any index on parent table but you have to create them "manually". I wrote simple python script which creates partitions and required indexes in advance (tables are partitioned by date). I like the flexibility because you can have different indexex on different partitions. For example, I discovered that adding index will improve several queries. In the production I can't afford exclusive lock (build index concurrently takes ages) so I updated and re-run the script which re-created future partitions. -- Ondrej Ivanic (ondrej.ivanic@xxxxxxxxx) -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
