Hi All,
I'm mainly interested in understanding how this works or why it can't, as opposed to just solving the problem. AI just told me this can't be done without a trigger but I'd like to confirm in case maybe I just asked the wrong question.
I want to have a partitioned log table receiving input from sensor equipment. The partitions would cover some time range like an hour or day. In all cases I want an ID column to default to a nextval from a sequence but starting over for each day. If I set the
default on the partitioned table, I would need to alter it at midnight - not optimal. A default set on the partition hasn't worked and I'm not sure why this is a problem.
I've only ever used simplistic partitioning but this doesn't seem like an unusual need. I'm looking for the underlying strategy that prevents use of the sequence configured on the partition. A reference to something describing the decision flow would be fantastic.
I've been experimenting on version 13 out of convenience but if a newer version has relevant changes, I'm interested. I'm not interested in the discussions over whether the data volume is enough to justify partitioning.
Thanks in advance,
Senor
