Hello

I have a few already created tables that I'd like to partition but I always hit error message like
ERROR 1503 (HY000): A PRIMARY KEY must include all columns in the table's partitioning function

whatever partitioning method I use (LIST or HASH)
I know what it basically means because the of restrictions of the partitioning functions but can not determine how I should transform my tables to be able to use partitioning

Note I am using mysql 5.1.47 but can easily migrate to 5.5.3 if required

Here is definition of one table
and the field I'd like to partition on is seg_id which as a finite set of values (around 30)

mysql> show create table Items\G;
Table: Items
