Hi, I was wondering if this was possible. I'm trying to partition a
table,
which is straightforward enough thanks to the great documentation, but i
have a question:
If I partition using something like a product_id for example and have
check
constraints such as (id>=1000 and id<2000) then everything is fine and
the
planner correctly uses the right subset of the tables. However I would
like
to partition by the first letter and using something like this
substr(word,1,1)='a' is ignored by the planner. From reading the docs I
understand that complicated check constraints are ignored, but this
doesn't
seem overly complicated.
Am i doing something wrong or is there another better way to do this
Have you tried:
(word >= 'a' and word <'b')
Cheers, had my programming head on. One question:
any ideas about what to put for the last in the list
i thought something like (word>='z' and word<'{') which is based on the
ascii ordering. - my db is using utf8
I tried to check this by doing
select * from words where word >'zzzz' order by word limit 10;
which returns '.' as the first result (ok not a word, but that is a
different issue) but if i do
select * from words where word <'.' order by word desc limit 10
I get '/...' as the first result, I would expect 'zzzz', this doesn't seem
consistent.
I'm obviously missing some inherent sorting behaviour her, but not sure..
Thanks
John
