mysql database automatic partitioning
This is an exact duplicate of the question here. Unfortunately that question was only answered by people posting links to sites that no longer work, so I'm hoping someone can, I don't know, re-post the solution where I can find it?
Anyway, the question is, how do I automatically update mysql database partitions. For example, if I want to have 3 partitions, representing 'this month', 'last month', and 'further in the past', how would I do it?
I can see how to create the partitions, but when this month rolls over to the next, I need them to automatically change. For instance, if today is november 29, the three partitions should have the data from november, october, and dates further back. Then a day later on december 1st, I want the three partitions to be december, november, and further back.
I assume this is possible, as the other question did have an accepted answer, so how do I do it?
