I also don't understand how this proposal deals with the more common use case of unloading and loading data. Normally in partitioned tables we build the data in a side table until the data is all correct then load it as a partition. If you treat it as a lower-level object then I don't see that working. The layout of the new table won't often match the layout of the target partitioned table.
+1 In addition, a similar use case is archival of "old" partitions as they are not longer (commonly) accessed - perhaps to a different tablespace (or even to backup media). I don't see how dynamic in-table partitioning handles this, and I think it would highly desirable to be able to do these things! best wishes Mark ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
