Thanks, that's definitely something to consider. I have been thinking of a sort of default list partition for the "rest" of values. Would you rather declare that with something like the below than having to enumerate all the values in a NOT IN list? Or the NOT IN way is more intuitive/friendly? CREATE TABLE _rest PARTITION OF table_name FOR VALUES [ IN ] DEFAULT Of course, at most one such partition would be allowed.
