Re: 10 TB database

I have a 300GB database, and I would like to look at partitioning as a
possible way to speed it up a bit.

I see the partitioning examples from the documentation:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/ddl-partitioning.html

Is anyone aware of additional examples or tutorials on partitioning?

Thanks,
Whit
