Yes, COPY will be more efficient. In PG11 it still means locking all partitions but that becomes more worthwhile the more tuples that are inserted at once. The same goes for INSERT with multiple rows in the VALUES clause. > Will querying directly the partition tables help? Yes. If you're able to determine which partition to query from within the application and write that in the query instead, then this will be much less planner overhead for PG11. It'll be pretty much the same as if you were querying a normal table. -- David Rowley http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
