Ah, OK. I was missing that there is no need to have both parttypcoll and
partcollation in PartitionSchemeData, as the Vars in rel->partexprs are
built from a bare PartitionKey (not PartitionSchemeData), and after that
point, parttypcoll no longer needs to kept around.

I noticed that there is a typo in the patch.

+	memcpy(part_scheme->partcollation, partkey->parttypcoll,

s/parttypcoll/partcollation/g

BTW, should there be a relevant test in partition_join.sql?  If yes,
attached a patch (partitionwise-join-collation-test-1.patch) to add one.

Also attached updated version of your patch (fixed the typo).

Thanks,
Amit
