If we are going to have real partitioning sometime soon, I don't think the restriction is a problem. You may have to load a whole partition again, which may be faster than using logged COPY to an already-filled partition. The point is, it's not the whole table, just a partition. -- Alvaro Herrera -- Valdivia, Chile Architect, www.EnterpriseDB.com "Acepta los honores y aplausos y perderás tu libertad" ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
