I think it would be even more interesting to have partial indexes -- ie specified with "WHERE rbscore < cutoff". I'm actually wondering if partitioning is really what you want. You might prefer to just keep two entirely separate tables. One that has all the data and one that has a second copy of the desirable subset. Kind of like a "materialized view" of a simple query with the where clause of "rbscore < cutoff". -- greg http://mit.edu/~gsstark/resume.pdf -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
