Hello. Some days ago I started using partitioning to make it possible to work with large amount of data.
I created master table as documentation suggest, created some child tables which inherit from the master one and then added a constraint for each child table to define the allowed key value. Constraint was like: CHECK (site_id = 'google_com') Now here is my question: While reading the documentation I came across the following suggestion: "For each partition, create an index on the key column(s)" Should I do that if the key will be the same for the whole partition? Will there be any benefits of having an index on site_id column? When I first read it, I decided that if all rows have the same key (say site_id = 'google_com') then there is no need in index.
