font-family:Arial'>We have an application that uses time partitioned tables
(day-based). We’re in the early stages of implementing slony for database
upgrades, etc. I recently got the entire database up and synched, and it ran
over the weekend. We have a sliding window of time partitioned tables of 14
days. So, as of this morning the oldest three child tables were dropped on the
origin, and three new child tables have been created, also on the origin. This
morning I was going to manually unsubscribe the old child tables, and run a
slonik script to add/merge the new ones. However, I noticed that on the
receiver the parent table now has data in it, and the dates range from Sep 9 –
today. Normally it does not, the data is only stored in the child tables which
inherit from the parent. This would make the range start 14 days from when I
set up the replication, last Friday. We replicate both the child tables and the
parent. Can anyone explain this behavior? Should I not be replicating the
parent table?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
