Greenplum catalog partition tables, views and functions
Post date: Oct 12, 2014 9:59:51 PM
There are 7 partition tables and views which can be used to see all the details about partition tables.
Tables
========
1. pg_partition -> catalog table is used to track partitioned tables and their inheritance level relationships. Each row ofpg_partition represents either the level of a partitioned table in the partition hierarchy, or a subpartition template description. The value of the attribute paristemplate determines what a particular row represents.
sachi=# \d pg_partition
Table "pg_catalog.pg_partition"
Column | Type | Modifiers
---------------+------------+-----------
parrelid | oid | not null
parkind | "char" | not null
parlevel | smallint | not null
paristemplate | boolean | not null
parnatts | smallint | not null
paratts | int2vector | not null
parclass | oidvector | not null
Indexes:
"pg_partition_oid_index" UNIQUE, btree (oid)
"pg_partition_parrelid_index" btree (parrelid)
"pg_partition_parrelid_parlevel_istemplate_index" btree (parrelid, parlevel, paristemplate)
sachi=#
2. pg_partition_encoding -> catalog table describes the available column compression options for a partition template.
sachi=# \d pg_partition_encoding
Table "pg_catalog.pg_partition_encoding"
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------------+----------+-----------
parencoid | oid | not null
parencattnum | smallint | not null
parencattoptions | text[] |
Indexes:
"pg_partition_encoding_parencoid_parencattnum_index" UNIQUE, btree (parencoid, parencattnum)
"pg_partition_encoding_parencoid_index" btree (parencoid)
3. pg_partition_rule -> catalog table is used to track partitioned tables, their check constraints, and data containment rules. Each row of pg_partition_rule represents either a leaf partition (the bottom level partitions that contain data), or a branch partition (a top or mid-level partition that is used to define the partition hierarchy, but does not contain any data).
sachi=# \d pg_partition_rule
Table "pg_catalog.pg_partition_rule"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-------------------+----------+-----------
paroid | oid | not null
parchildrelid | oid | not null
parparentrule | oid | not null
parname | name | not null
parisdefault | boolean | not null
parruleord | smallint | not null
parrangestartincl | boolean | not null
parrangeendincl | boolean | not null
parrangestart | text |
parrangeend | text |
parrangeevery | text |
parlistvalues | text |
parreloptions | text[] |
partemplatespace | oid |
Indexes:
"pg_partition_rule_oid_index" UNIQUE, btree (oid)
"pg_partition_rule_parchildrelid_index" btree (parchildrelid)
"pg_partition_rule_parchildrelid_parparentrule_parruleord_index" btree (parchildrelid, parparentrule, parruleord)
"pg_partition_rule_paroid_parentrule_ruleord_index" btree (paroid, parparentrule, parruleord)
Views
========
1. pg_partition_columns ->view is used to show the partition key columns of a partitioned table.
