Description
Postgresql added support for table partitioning from 10.x; currently, it is on 15.x.
Django should add support for PostgreSQL table partitioning so that the database engine can be used efficiently.
Currently, I can only see one library supporting partitioning (django-postgres-extra)https://django-postgres-extra.readthedocs.io/en/latest/table_partitioning.html. Still, it also has limitations in migration because Django does not support composite primary key, which is the key requirement for the Postgres table partitioning.
