[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-5371) Add support for REVEND_TSTMP which will enable SQL table partitioning by time

[Adam Warski (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5371?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=38288#action_38288 ] 

Adam Warski commented on HHH-5371:
----------------------------------

The patch looks good, but I'd like to see using the REVEND_TSTMP as an optional thing (as it's only useful in certain use-cases).
Also, what is the rationale behind partitioning using the revend column, instead of the revision (timestamp) column? That way it could work with both audit strategies.

> There is strong desire to be able to purge old records out of a relational database by using table partitioning. In order to partition a table, you need to partition it on a column that exists within the table. So, in order to partition the _AUD tables by expired time, the timestamp of REVEND must be present within the table.
