Are partial indexes a possible solution for your problem? This last sentence makes a very valid point. Just because you solve a problem in Oracle-land one way does not mean the most effective means to solve it in Postgresql-land is by the same methodology. Many solutions in one of these domains will not, and usually should not, have a direct 1 to 1 mapping. It's often better to post what problems you're having in Postgresql and ask the list for advice. The solution may be much simpler than you'd imagine, but without know what the problem is, it's hard to suggest a solution to Shirish Reddy. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send unregister YourEmailAddressHere to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

Hi, One of the issues that is preventing us from migrating from an Oracle DB to Postgres is that Table Partitioning is not available in Postgres yet. Partitioning is still listed as a TO DO. Any ideas when this will be available in Postgres? Approximate time frame will be good enough for now. Thanks Shirish __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
