If partition is a table, so I could define different indices for them ?
In our prototype of scaled full text search we create another index
which is optimized for "archived" (not changed) data - it's sort of
standard inverted index which is proven to be scaled, while tsearch2's index
is good for "online" data. All interfaces ( dictionaries, parsers, ranking)
are the same, so it's possible to combine search results.
This is rather easy to implement using table inheritance, but I'd like
to do this with partitioning

Oleg
