Don't allocate storage for partitioned tables.
Robert Haas <rhaas@postgresql.org>
Don't allocate storage for partitioned tables. Also, don't allow setting reloptions on them, since that would have no effect given the lack of storage. The patch does this by introducing a new reloption kind for which there are currently no reloptions -- we might have some in the future -- so it adjusts parseRelOptions to handle that case correctly. Bumped catversion. System catalogs that contained reloptions for partitioned tables are no longer valid; plus, there are now fewer physical files on disk, which is not technically a catalog change but still a good reason to re-initdb. Amit Langote, reviewed by Maksim Milyutin and Kyotaro Horiguchi and revised a bit by me. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/20170331.173326.212311140.horiguchi.kyotaro@lab.ntt.co.jp
