The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/ddl-partitioning.html
Description:

Is this rule of thumb a typo?

"The exact point at which a table will benefit from partitioning depends on
the application, although a rule of thumb is that the size of the table
should exceed the physical memory of the database server."

I believe it should say the "a rule of thumb is that the size of the table
should NOT exceed the physical memory of the database server."

Thanks,
MV
