Partitioning in PostgreSQL 10 Currently we are using pg_partman for partitioning our tables in PostgreSQL 9.4. We are planning on upgrading to PostgreSQL 10. I read that PostgreSQL 10 has better support for partitioning.

While I read the documentation on it, is there a standard process to automate creation of the partitions? Do we still need to use pg_partman to automate creation of the partitions or is there another way?

I am not a PostgreSQL DBA but I need to maintain the database so I am looking for any standard practices for PostgreSQL partitioning.
I just wanted to share how we dealt with this - in case this helps others. Based on suggestions from some DBAs in Postgres User Groups, I created a cron job that executes twice a month. We use daily partitions. So the cron job executes a bash script. The bash script connects to the database using psql and calls a function which takes in the table that needs to be partitioned and the date interval to create the partitions for. Here is the function I used to create partitions. This has worked without any issues for us.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.create_partition_tables(p_parent_table text, p_partition_start_date date, p_partition_end_date date)
RETURNS void AS 
    $body$ 
    DECLARE
        partition_date date;
        v_tablename text;
    BEGIN
        for partition_date in
            select date(generate_series(p_partition_start_date, p_partition_end_date, interval '1 day'))
        loop

            SELECT tablename INTO v_tablename FROM pg_catalog.pg_tables WHERE schemaname='public' and tablename = p_parent_table || '_p' ||to_char(partition_date, 'yyyy_mm_dd');
            IF v_tablename IS NOT NULL THEN
                CONTINUE;
            END IF;

            execute format('create table public.' || p_parent_table || '_p' ||to_char(partition_date, 'yyyy_mm_dd')|| ' partition of public.' 
            || p_parent_table || ' for values from (%L) to (%L)', partition_date, date(partition_date + interval '1 day') ); 
        end loop;
    END;
