Hi Justin,
Thanks for response.
Unfortunately we will not be able to migrate to PG12 any time soon.
- There is only one index (unique index btree) on 'txnID' (i.e. transaction
ID) character varying(36). Which we are creating on each partition.
- Our use case is limited to simple selects (we don't join with the other
tables) however, we are expecting ~70 million records inserted per day and
there would be couple of updates on each records where average record size
would be ~ 1.5 KB.
- Currently we are thinking to have Daily partitions and as we need to keep
6 months of data thus 180 Partitions.However we have liberty to reduce the
number of partitions to weekly/fortnightly/monthly, If we get comparable
performance.
- We need to look current partition and previous partition for all of our
use-cases/queries.
Can you please suggest what sort of combinations/partition strategy we can test
considering data-volume/vacuum etc. Also let me know if some of the pg_settings
can help us tuning this (I have attached my pg_settings).
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi Garg,

That's probably to be expected under pg11:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/ddl-partitioning.html
|Too many partitions can mean longer query planning times...
|It is also important to consider the overhead of partitioning during query
planning and execution. The query planner is generally able to handle partition
hierarchies with up to a few hundred partitions fairly well, provided that
typical queries allow the query planner to prune all but a small number of
partitions. Planning times become longer and memory consumption becomes higher
as more partitions are added

How large are the partitions and how many indexes each, and how large are they?
Each partition will be stat()ed and each index will be open()ed and read() for
every query. This was resolved in pg12:
