It probably will be. There are two primary reasons it hasn't happened yet (in my opinion):
1. It takes a while to get widespread agreement on the semantics to make sure it really solves the problem in a comprehensive way.
2. The existing mechanism is "good enough", so nobody is quite experiencing enough pain that they dedicate the effort to solve it.
These aren't great reasons, because other databases have had partitioning features for a long time. But they are reasons.
- clubhi 13y agoI'm experiencing the pain. I've been championing postgres in my company for a couple of years now. The partitioning limitations have been quite embarrassing. It's not just the annoying lack of helper syntax to make partitioning better. It's the actual huge limitations on what the planner can consider when trying to find a derived table.
