Re: Conversion to partitioning table

Partitioning can take your production database down

https://www.kylehailey.com/post/postgres-partition-conversion-minimal-downtime

Basically there are 4 steps:
1 Rename old table
2 Create new table with partitioning
3 Add constraint on old table for it's proposed partition ranges
4 Attach old table as a partition to new partition table
Sounds easy right?
What about indexes? What about Triggers?
And guess what, there are other traps to watch out for!
