## Restrictions on EPAS-native automatic partitioning

EPAS-native automatic partitioning is not supported on PGD.

If the PGD extension is active on an EPAS database, DDL commands to configure
EPAS automatic partitioning (`ALTER TABLE ... SET AUTOMATIC` and `ALTER TABLE ... SET INTERVAL`)
will be rejected.

Note that while it is possible to enable the PGD extension on an EPAS database
containing tables configured to use EPAS-native automatic partitioning, it
will not be possible to join further nodes using this node as a source node.

EPAS-native automatic partitioning can be disabled with one of the following
commands:

- `ALTER TABLE ... SET MANUAL` (for list partitioned tables)
- `ALTER TABLE ... SET INTERVAL ()` (for interval partitioned tables)
