PostgreSQL's partitioned tables have a known limitation: unique
constraints (including primary keys) must include all columns of the
partitioning key. This isn't a bug, but a design constraint.
For example, if you partition hash_sales by sale_date, your primary
key must include sale_date. as shown below

CREATE TABLE hash_sales (
    id INT,
    sale_date DATE,
    amount NUMERIC,
    PRIMARY KEY (sale_date, id)
) PARTITION BY hash(sale_date);
