Tom,
Hm, how about just 'partition'? Your argument is fair, and another point in its favor is that someday we'll probably have an explicit notion of partitioned tables and both the inheritance and union-view approaches would become legacy methods. We'd certainly want constraint exclusion to apply to all three by default.
I think that's probably the best compromise. --Josh -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
