I'm continuing this thread with an additional change to slash dee for
partitioned indexes.
postgres=# \d ttz_i_idx
Partitioned index "public.ttz_i_idx"
Column | Type | Key? | Definition
--------+---------+------+------------
i | integer | yes | i
btree, for table "public.ttz"
Number of partitions: 2 (Use \d+ to list them.)
postgres=# \d+ ttz_i_idx
Partitioned index "public.ttz_i_idx"
Column | Type | Key? | Definition | Storage | Stats target
--------+---------+------+------------+---------+--------------
i | integer | yes | i | plain |
btree, for table "public.ttz"
Partitions: ttz1_i_idx,
ttz2_i_idx, PARTITIONED
Showing the list of index partitions is probably not frequently useful, but
consider the case of non-default names, for example due to truncation.
I didn't update regression output; note that this patch also, by chance, causes
tablespace of partitioned indexes to be output, which I think is good and an
oversight that it isn't currently shown.
I added CF entry and including previous two patches for CFBOT purposes.
Recap: Tom, Andreas, Robert, Stephen and I agree that \d toast should show the
main table. Rafia and Alvaro think that \d on the main table should (also?)
show its toast.
