Quoting Mark Stosberg <m...@summersault.com>:
5. Finally, I'll drop the indexes on the parent table and
truncate it.
Luckily I noticed the problem with TRUNCATE and partitioning before my
work got to production.
TRUNCATE cascades automatically and silently to child tables, which was
not my intent.
This is mentioned here:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Table_partitioning
But is not mentioned in the official documentation for TRUNCATE:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-truncate.html
The work-around we used was to put the TRUNCATE statement ahead of the
ALTER TABLE .. INHERIT statements in our final transaction.
Mark
You need to use the "ONLY" option to TRUNCATE to just do the single
parent and not cascade to the child tables.

Ken
