Re: Fwd: [PATCHES] Auto Partitioning Patch - WIP version 1

Hi all,

While I was trying to find the right place to add a new page on the
wiki, I found the document of Simon on partitioning requirements
(http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Image:Partitioning_Requirements.pdf)
referenced from http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Development_projects
I think this is a good base to start from. Should we convert the doc
into a wiki page or get the source for the doc and go from there?

I attach what I have come up with so far for the C trigger I was talking
about for efficient automatic auto-partitioning of inserts in child tables.
