Yaya aka aiki cikin PostgreSQL?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Partitioning** yana raba babbar tebur zuwa ƙananan sifofi jiki-jiki (**partitions**) dangane da ƙimar ginshiki, duk da haka ya kasance tebur ɗaya na hankali. **Declarative partitioning** na PostgreSQL (Postgres 10+) yana sa wannan da tsabta. Yana inganta aiki da hidima don manyan tebur.

## Declarative partitioning (hanyar zamani)

```sql
-- create a partitioned table, partitioned by RANGE on a date
CREATE TABLE orders (id INT, order_date DATE, amount NUMERIC)
PARTITION BY RANGE (order_date);

-- create partitions for each range
CREATE TABLE orders_2023 PARTITION OF orders
  FOR VALUES FROM ('2023-01-01') TO ('2024-01-01');
CREATE TABLE orders_2024 PARTITION OF orders
  FOR VALUES FROM ('2024-01-01') TO ('2025-01-01');
```

`orders` shine tebur ɗaya na hankali, wanda aka ajiye jiki-jiki a cikin partitions na shekara-shekara. Saka da bubugi ana tunanin su zuwa partition dama ta atomatik.

## Partition pruning — ainihin amfani na aikin haushi

```sql
-- a query filtered on the partition key scans ONLY relevant partitions
SELECT * FROM orders WHERE order_date >= '2024-06-01';
-- → Postgres skips orders_2023 entirely ("partition pruning") — scans only orders_2024
```

**Partition pruning** shine babbar nasara: bubugi masu tacewa akan partition key suna kulle partitions masu alaka kawai, yana rage bayanan da ake duba da yawa akan manyan tebur.

## Dabubun partitioning

```text
PARTITION BY RANGE → value ranges (dates, numbers) — common for time-series
PARTITION BY LIST  → discrete values (region, status)
PARTITION BY HASH  → hash of the key (even distribution across N partitions)
```

## Abubuwan hidima

```sql
-- drop old data instantly by dropping a whole partition (vs slow DELETE)
DROP TABLE orders_2020;              -- removes all 2020 data instantly
-- vs DELETE FROM orders WHERE year = 2020 → slow, creates bloat

-- detach/attach partitions; automate with pg_partman extension
```

Sacewa duka partition don aibun tsohuwa/cire tsohuwar bayani yana nan kaatawe — babbar abun aiki game da `DELETE` don manyan bayani.

## Yasa yana da mahimmanci

Table partitioning shine mahimmin fasaha na PostgreSQL don sarrafa da bubugi manyan tebur, kuma fahimtar sa yana da ƙimar aiki tare da Postgres a gaske.

Yadda tebur ke girma zuwa ɗaruruwan miliyoyin jeri ko biliyan jeri, partitioning yana magance abubuwan haushi da hidima ta raba tebur zuwa ƙananan sifofi jiki-jiki.

**Declarative partitioning** na Postgres (Postgres 10+) yana sa wannan da tsabta kuma shine zamani standard din fahimta.

Ainihin amfani na aikin haushi shine **partition pruning** — bubugi masu tacewa akan partition key suna duba partitions masu alaka kawai (yana tsallake sauran), yana rage bayanan da ake duba da yawa don manyan tebur (musamman na ƙarfin gaske don bayanan lokaci-jere masu tacewa ta rankodir, batun gida sosai).
".beyond performance, partitioning yana samar da manyan **abubuwan hidima**: aibun tsohuwa ko cire tsohuwar bayani ya zama kaatawe ta sacewa duka partition (ƙasar faɗin, wajen da aka cire bayani masu ƙila da miliyoyin jeri — amfani mai mahimmanci aiki don bayani tare da ƙa'ida na jiya, kamar logs da abubuwa).

Fahimtar **dabubun** (RANGE don jera/lambobi — gida don bayanan lokaci-jere; LIST don ƙiyaye keɓantaccen; HASH don rarraba daidai) da **lokacin amfani da partitioning** (manyan tebur tare da key partition na halitta, musamman bayanan lokaci-jere tare da aibun tsohuwa na akai-akai — ba ƙananan tebur inda tsinkayi ɗaya — yana nuna hankali mai kyau.

Tun sarrafawa manyan tebur ita ce ainihin kalubalin a cikin tinkirin PostgreSQL masu girma, kuma tun declarative partitioning (tare da partition pruning da hidima da sauri ta partition-drop) shine kayan aikin standard — tare da tsinkayi — fahimtar PostgreSQL table partitioning yana ƙarfin da aiki na gaske alaka don tintace bayani na tebur, musamman mahaɗa don manyan, matakin gaske, ko bayanan lokaci-jere aikace-aikace kuma jiya gida na bubugi yana nuna ikon sarrafa Postgres a gaske.
