Subject: 5.11.1 Table Partitioning Overview  - "...the size of the table should exceed the physical memory.."
Date: Tue, 30 May 2023 05:06:58 +0000
Message-ID: <168542321808.1230020.11749247868403452374@wrigleys.postgresql.org> (raw)

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/ddl-partitioning.html
Description:

Is this rule of thumb a typo?

"The exact point at which a table will benefit from partitioning depends on
the application, although a rule of thumb is that the size of the table
should exceed the physical memory of the database server."

I believe it should say the "a rule of thumb is that the size of the table
should NOT exceed the physical memory of the database server."

Thanks,
MV
