Neither TIMESTAMP variants store a time zone (or an offset), despite what the names suggest. I try to explain it more understandably than the referred PostgreSQL documentation. Here are examples covering the combinations of those factors: foo=> SET TIMEZONE TO 'Japan' įoo=> SELECT ' 00:00:00'::TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE įoo=> SELECT ' 00:00:00+03'::TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE įoo=> SET TIMEZONE TO 'Australia/Melbourne'


Perform createPartitionIfNotExists(to_date(rec::varchar,'yyyy')) Ĭreate or replace view "UserFavorites" as select * from "UserFavorites_master" execute format('create unique index on %I (%I)', tableName, 'UserId'::text) Unfortunatelly Postgres forces us to define index for each table individually:
EBEAN VERSION COLUMN POSTGRESQL TIMESTAMP FULL
You can see the full code below: alter table "UserFavorites" rename to "UserFavorites_old" Ĭreate or replace function createPartitionIfNotExists(forDate timestamp) returns voidĭeclare yearStart date := date_trunc('year', forDate) ĭeclare yearEndExclusive date := yearStart + interval '1 year' ĭeclare tableName text := 'UserFavorites_Partition_' || to_char(forDate, 'YYYY') Įxecute format('create table %I partition of "UserFavorites_master" for values from (%L) to (%L)', tableName, yearStart, yearEndExclusive) Looking for alternatives or good ideas to solve the issue.

The original table didn't have a constraint on timestamp to either be unique or a primary key nor would we particularly want that but that seems to be a requirement of partitioning. "Id" int4 NOT NULL GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY,ĬONSTRAINT "PK_UserFavorites_CreationDate" PRIMARY KEY ("CreationDate") You can see the new table definition below: CREATE TABLE "UserFavorites_master" ( The partition forces me to create the primary to be the range (timestamp) value.

I have an issue when trying to modify and existing PostgreSQL (version 13.3) table to support partitioning it gets stuck when inserting the new data from the old table because the inserted timestamp in some cases may not be unique, so it fails on execution.
