Pull Request Overview
This PR updates documentation to reflect changes in TimescaleDB v2.23.0 where the partition column is automatically selected and a columnstore policy is created by default when creating hypertables. The changes remove the now-optional tsdb.partition_column='time' parameter from code examples and replace old API notes with new informational notes about the automatic policy creation.
Key Changes:
- Removed
tsdb.partition_column='time'from CREATE TABLE examples (now auto-selected) - Replaced
OldCreateHypertablepartial withCreateHypertablePolicyNotepartial that explains automatic columnstore policy creation - Removed manual columnstore policy setup sections that are now automatic
- Deleted tutorial pages about manual compression that are obsolete with automatic policies
- Updated API documentation to reflect new defaults and behavior
