PostgreSQL Partitioning, PGCon 2007

The document discusses PostgreSQL table partitioning, including what it is, how it is implemented using rules, constraints and inheritance, when to use triggers for partitioning, and automated partition maintenance. It notes that partitioning provides performance benefits as queries on large tables slow down, manageability benefits as only relevant partitions need to be queried, and scalability benefits. The key topics covered are performance, scalability, and manageability advantages of PostgreSQL partitioning.
