Hi,
This is also not working,
create table mytable_z partition of mytable for values from ('Z') to
('[')partition by range(id);
ERROR: empty range bound specified for partition "mytable_z"DETAIL: Specified
lower bound ('Z') is greater than or equal to upper bound ('[').SQL state: 42P17

Hi
I don’t discuss here the choice itself but this is not correct:
create table mytable_z of mytable for values from ('Z') to ('Z[');
It should be
create table mytable_z of mytable for values from ('Z') to ('[')

Objet : Re: Partition with check constraint with "like"
Hi David,
Hi,
I am trying to create partitions on the table which have around 2BIL records
and users will always look for the "name", its not possible to create a
partition with a list, so we are trying to create a partition-based first
letter of the name column. name column has a combination of alpha numeric
values.

I tried as below, I'm able to create a partition table for 'Z', but it's not
identifying partition table.
postgres=# select chr(ascii('Z')+1) ;
chr
-----
[
(1 row)
create table mytable_z of mytable for values from ('Z') to ('Z[');
CREATE TABLE
insert into mytable values(4,'ZAR83NB');
ERROR: no partition of relation "mytable" found for row DETAIL: Partition key
of the failing row contains (name) = (ZAR83NB). SQL state: 23514

You can also use MINVALUE and MAXVALUE to mean unbounded at either end
of the range.
But is there a particular need that you want to partition this way? It
seems like it might be a bit painful to maintain, especially if you're
not limiting yourself to ASCII or ANSI characters.
You might want to consider HASH partitioning if you're just looking
for a way to keep your tables and indexes to a more manageable size.
You've not really mentioned your use case here, so it's hard to give
any advice.
There are more details about partitioning in
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-partitioning.html
