The direction being taken with data partitioning is great. I truly believe this will solve the issues of many companies when it comes to "big data"... This, to me, is the middle ground we have been missing between rdbms and nosql.

Congrats to the postgres team, what an interesting product.

Every other major RDBMS has had this for years. The only people who have been missing this are Postgres users.

On the other hand, PostgreSQL had some notion of partitioning essentially since it's inception. Ten years ago PostgreSQL's rules and table inheritance based partitioning was probably only DBMS-integrated solution that was actually usable.
