Hmm, that's interesting. So you want the children to inherit the parent's tablespace when they are created, but if the parent's tablespace is later changed, the existing children don't move? I guess that's a defensible behavior, but it's not one I would have considered. It's certainly quite different from what the TABLESPACE option means when applied to an unpartitioned table. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
