Any proposed workaround?

Would SELECTs be affected by this too?

Nice :-) Although for now I will need to get this working on 8.2.x.

Does this leave me with UPDATE triggers as the best viable (is it

Are there, as mentioned in previous post, some way to simulate the way
the DB behaved when using rules for partitioning?
