One other thought... a lot of this discussion seems to parallel the debate from a while ago about whether SERIAL should act like a macro (ie: it just sets everything up and users are free to monkey under the hood afterwards), or whether it should be it's own 'closed-box' construct.
Currently, we seem to be leaning towards partition management being a 'macro', with child tables very exposed, etc. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it's probably worth some thought. -- Jim Nasby [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com 512.569.9461 (cell) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
