Please be aware that with RANGE partitions the upper bound is
non-inclusive. The lower bound is inclusive.

If you want a 2017 partition, then FOR VALUES FROM ('2017-01-01') TO
('2018-01-01') will allow all 2017 timestamps and only 2017
timestamps.

You've no need to consider precision of the type and how many 9's you
add to anything here.
