I realize the READ performance goes down dramatically when my table goes large. Every new day goes on, my table can
increasex millions of new rows. 

I was wondering whether this is good practice I can design my database in this way?

Instead of having

lot <-> unit <-> measurement

Can I have

lot-March-2010 <-> unit-March-2010 <-> measurement-March-2010
lot-April-2010 <-> unit-April-2010 <-> measurement-April-2010

(1) That's mean in my stored procedure, I need to dynamically generate the table name. Is this the "dynamic SQL" to
correctway, to dynamically generate table name : http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/ecpg-dynamic.html 

(2) Is this consider a good approach, to overcome speed problem (especially read speed). Any potential problem I should
putan eye on, before I implement this strategy? 

Thanks and Regards
