We are planning on deploying postgres 8.4 in a month or two to
production. From the expected feature list for 8.5, I have seen one on
simplified table partitioning.
Will 8.5 have table partitions as first-class objects (i.e not
inheritted tables..but partitions)
Also..will 8.5 have a migration option to future releases without
dump/restore (e.g 8.5 to 9 )
If so, we may consider waiting.
Thank you
