Hi Michael,

I want to create a partition by year and subpartition by month in postgres 11 
timestamp column. Please advise syntax.


https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/ddl-partitioning.html

The documentation is rather clear with examples like-

CREATE TABLE measurement_y2006m02 PARTITION OF measurement
    FOR VALUES FROM ('2006-02-01') TO ('2006-03-01');
CREATE TABLE measurement_y2006m03 PARTITION OF measurement
    FOR VALUES FROM ('2006-03-01') TO ('2006-04-01');

Note- Don't partition on function results like date_part because performance 
will likely suffer greatly. Also note that the top end is always exclusive so 
the above give a continuous range for those two months.

I would hesitate to partition by more than year alone before upgrading to PG 
v12. The speed improvements for more than 10-100 partitions (max recommended 
for PG11) is huge in 12.
