Time-based database sharding in Go with GORM is implemented by generating year- or week-based table names from timestamps and executing concurrent shard queries across the relevant partitions to retrieve range query results efficiently.

The best way to query large datasets across time-partitioned tables in Go is using a shard-aware data retrieval workflow that resolves target tables within a time window and fetches results across all relevant partitions in parallel.

Yes, you can perform cross-table range queries over time-sharded data without manual table resolution by defining a base table name and time range, then leveraging shard-aware query execution to automatically resolve and query the target partitions.

Yes, this time-based sharding approach supports both year-based and week-based table partitioning by providing dedicated partitioning utilities that generate shard table names dynamically from input timestamps.

You determine the correct shard table names from a specific timestamp by using the GetTableNameByTimestamp utility, which maps your input timestamp to the appropriate year- or week-based partitioned table name for your GORM queries.

A limitation of time-based sharding for database partitioning in Go applications is that it specifically requires services using GORM for data access and is optimized primarily for range queries over time-sharded data, potentially restricting other query patterns.
