Hi, As Laurenz commented in this thread, I tried adding option to update parent's statistics during Autovacuum. To do that, I propose supporting 'autovacuum_enabled' option already exists on partitioned tables.
In the attached patch, you can use 'autovacuum_enabled' option on partitioned table as usual, that is, a default value of this option is true. So if you don't need autovacuum on a partitioned table, you have to specify the option: CREATE TABLE p(i int) partition by range(i) with (autovacuum_enabled=0); I'm not sure but I wonder if a suitable value as a default of 'autovacuum_enabled' for partitioned tables might be false. Because autovacuum on *partitioned tables* requires scanning all children to make partitioned tables' statistics. But if the default value varies according to the relation, is it confusing? Any thoughts? -- Best regards, Yuzuko Hosoya NTT Open Source Software Center
