The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/ddl-partitioning.html Description:
Link: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-partitioning.html#DDL-PARTITIONING-DECLARATIVE "Using ONLY to add or drop a constraint on only the partitioned table is supported as long as there are no partitions. Once partitions exist, using ONLY will result in an error. Instead, constraints on the partitions themselves can be added and (if they are not present in the parent table) dropped." This seems in contradiction to the example involving adding a unique constraint while minimizing locking at the bottom of "5.11.2.2. Partition Maintenance", which seems to run fine on my local Pg instance: " This technique can be used with UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints too; the indexes are created implicitly when the constraint is created. Example: ```ALTER TABLE ONLY measurement ADD UNIQUE (city_id, logdate); ALTER TABLE measurement_y2006m02 ADD UNIQUE (city_id, logdate); ALTER INDEX measurement_city_id_logdate_key ATTACH PARTITION measurement_y2006m02_city_id_logdate_key; ... ``` " I might be misinterpreting something. Sorry if that's the case! Thanks, Bryce
