I'm going to create a (manually) partioned table and wonder whether I should use inherited tables or an explicitly created view using UNION ALL. Constraint exclusion is not important for this application (major updates will directly target the individual tables). After these considerations, is there still a difference between the two approaches? -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@xxxxxx> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Durlacher Allee 47 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76131 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
