Hello.  I'd like you to help me write the SQL code to execute in PostgreSQL to properly partition a table by date using the pgpartman extension.  I found the following code, but I don't know if it's complete.  Could you please review it and ensure that it has all the proper steps to accomplish this goal?  Please be sure to use database transactions around all critical steps so that should they fail there are no side effects, lost data, or partially completed tasks.

Here's the code I found:
CREATE SCHEMA partman;
CREATE EXTENSION pg_partman SCHEMA partman;

CREATE ROLE partman WITH LOGIN;
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA partman TO partman;
GRANT ALL ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA partman TO partman;
GRANT EXECUTE ON ALL FUNCTIONS IN SCHEMA partman TO partman;
GRANT EXECUTE ON ALL PROCEDURES IN SCHEMA partman TO partman;  -- PG11+ only
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA my_partition_schema TO partman;
GRANT TEMPORARY ON DATABASE sg to partman; -- allow creation of temp tables to move data out of default

ALTER TABLE lsif_data_docs_search_public RENAME to old_lsif_data_docs_search_public;

-- Create our new partitioned table, identical to the old one but with no indexes and with PARTITION BY RANGE (id).
-- The actual search index over API docs, one entry per symbol/section of API docs.
CREATE TABLE lsif_data_docs_search_public (
    LIKE old_lsif_data_docs_search_public INCLUDING ALL
) PARTITION BY RANGE (id);

-- Drop triggers on our old table, we do not want dthem updating our aggregate count tables as we
-- move data.
-DROP TRIGGER lsif_data_docs_search_public_delete ON old_lsif_data_docs_search_public;
DROP TRIGGER lsif_data_docs_search_public_insert ON old_lsif_data_docs_search_public;

-- Create partitions with 30 million rows each, about enough to store 1,200 Go repos worth of
-- results.
SELECT partman.create_parent('public.lsif_data_docs_search_public', 'id', 'native', '30000000');

-- Actually perform the partitioning.
--
-- p_interval: copy in batches of 500,000 rows at a time
-- p_batch: total number of batches to copy
CALL partman.partition_data_proc('public.lsif_data_docs_search_public', p_interval := '500000', p_batch := 9999999, p_source_table := 'public.old_lsif_data_docs_search_public');
VACUUM ANALYZE public.lsif_data_docs_search_public;

The code you provided is mostly complete, but there are a few adjustments to be made. I've added transaction blocks around critical steps and a few additional queries to ensure everything is properly set up. Here's the updated code:

This code should properly set up the pg_partman extension and partition your table by date using the steps provided. The transaction blocks ensure that if any critical steps fail, there are no side effects, lost data, or partially completed tasks.
