+description: >
+ The detached_partitions table stores information about partitions in the gitlab_partitions_dynamic schema that
+ have been scheduled for drop, but not yet dropped.
+
+ These partitions were created by the Gitlab::Database::Partitioning::PartitionManager, and then detached from their
+ parent tables and added to this table when no longer part of the active partition set. Partitions are scheduled for
+ deletion one week after detachment.
+
+ Rows in this table are processed by Database::DropDetachedPartitionsWorker, which runs once a day.
