You would query the view.
One idea to occurred to me is that you could have a mix, so that big
counties like Orange County(*) have a single partition, where as
smaller counties and states would be gathered in the same partition.
This would mean that you would have different models to load the files.
For Orange County you switch table in and out, whereas for smaller
counties you delete and insert. Of course, this means more complex
code since there would be two code paths. But there would be far
fewer partitions to care about.
(*) When I picked Orange County as an example, I did not know that it
was one of the biggies. I just picked it as it was one of the county
names I knew; the name appears in a few Zappa tracks.
