Ah yes, I've located a reference to this on the wiki now. No wiki
updates needed.
I guess it's a matter of whether Takahiro-san has the time and desire
to pick this up again any time soon. Whenever I cross the topic of
partitioning in PostgreSQL, it's always a tad embarrassing to explain
that it's still hacky compared to other database systems (and this
came up again last week), so this is of particular interest to me. At
the moment there's no testing required as it's returned with feedback,
but I'm very willing to help assist in testing it should this return
to the fore again. The idea of getting both this and materialised
views in time for 9.3 is extremely appealing; a performance release
(9.2) followed by a usability release.
