The pitfalls of partitioning Postgres yourself

I mentioned this towards the bottom of the post, but to reiterate: we're extremely grateful to Laurenz for helping us out here, and his post on this is more than worth checking out: https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com/en/partitioned-table-sta...

(plus an interesting discussion in the comments of that post on how the query planner chose a certain row estimate in the specific case that Laurenz shared!)

The other thing I'll add is that we still haven't figured out:

1. An optimal ANALYZE schedule here on parent partitions; we're opting to over-analyze than under-analyze at the moment, because it seems like our query distribution might change quite often.

2. Whether double-partitioned tables (we have some tables partitioned by time series first, and an enum value second) need analyze on the intermediate tables, or whether the top-level parent and bottom-level child tables are enough. So far just the top-level and leaf tables seem good enough.

They didn’t say why they didn’t use the built-in partitioning system.

They are using the built-in partitioning. They just ran into one of the "you gotta know this" pitfalls.
