Hi,
Is there a way to break the data files by month like in Oracle so that I can easely drop the tables on a monthly basis? Is this something postgres supports or is there a work around solution?
Hmm, as far as I know its not supported. But I could think of a solution of a table per month which are then hidden behind a view which does a UNION ALL on all of them. You could even automate the Adminostration of this via a Function. I mean, in Oracle Partitions behave like single tables, so this would simulate somethig similar. But I think the Optimizer would not be able to see that he must only access the table table_Jan_2003 if you are restricting on January 2003...
Cheers, Dani
