Hi All,

I have a large table partioned by month. I would like to run a query -
which adds derived data to the current data and inserts the data into a new
table. The new table is the target for users.

How can I iterate over the partition tables to insert data and build the
new table?
This is done monthly, am I better off creating a materalized view each
month?

Best,
Glenn

Well not using partitions yet in production, I can't say I can fully grasp your use case, but anyways, in order to iterate over partitions you'll have to look at : pg_partitioned_table , pg_inherits
or just enable log_statement , issue \d+ <your partitioned table> and look at the SQL produced.
Or just do :
select inhrelid::regclass from pg_inherits where inhparent = 'your partitioned table'::regclass;

Best,
Glenn
