font-family:Arial'>I am working on some automation scripts to handle adding and
dropping time partitioned tables. I’m looking at Section 20.1 in the
documentation, and understand the “traditional approach”. I was
wondering if anyone had an example for the method using
add_empty_table_to_replication? If I understand the steps correctly:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Create the new empty partition
table on the origin<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Create the new empty partition
table on the target(s)<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Run a shell script invoking
slonik with an EXECUTE SCRIPT command, referencing an SQL script
containing a call to add_empty_table_to_replication<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>It’s the third step I’m unsure about. Do I need
to use EXECUTE SCRIPT, or could I just execute the call to the function on each
system (origin then target)? An example of the shell script using EXECUTE
SCRIPT for this specific instance would help a lot.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
