Package postgresql15-pg_partman: Information

pg_partman is an extension to create and manage both time-based and number-based table
partition sets. As of version 5.0.0, only built-in, declarative partitioning is
supported and the older trigger-based methods have been deprecated.

The declarative partitioning built into PostgreSQL provides the commands to create
a partitioned table and its children. pg_partman uses the built-in declarative features
that PostgreSQL provides and builds upon those with additional features and enhancements
to make managing partitions easier. One key way that pg_partman extends partitioning in
Postgres is by providing a means to automate the child table maintenance over time (Ex.
adding new children, dropping old ones based on a retention policy). pg_partman also has
features to turn an existing table into a partitioned table or vice versa.
