Yeah, it seems like a good idea after all to check in
expand_inherited_rtentry() whether the root RTE's updatedCols is non-empty
and if so check if any of the updatedCols are partition keys.  If we find
some, then it will suffice to just set a simple flag in the
PartitionedChildRelInfo that will be created for the root table.  That
should be done *after* we have visited all the tables in the partition
tree including some that might be partitioned and hence will provide their
partition keys.  The following block in expand_inherited_rtentry() looks
like a good spot:

        if (rte->inh && partitioned_child_rels != NIL)
        {
            PartitionedChildRelInfo *pcinfo;

            pcinfo = makeNode(PartitionedChildRelInfo);

Thanks,
Amit

Commits

  1. Avoid referencing off the end of subplan_partition_offsets.

  2. Allow UPDATE to move rows between partitions.

  3. Remove useless lookup of root partitioned rel in ExecInitModifyTable().

  4. Factor error generation out of ExecPartitionCheck.

  5. Minor preparatory refactoring for UPDATE row movement.

  6. Simplify and encapsulate tuple routing support code.

  7. Avoid coercing a whole-row variable that is already coerced.

  8. Use ResultRelInfo ** rather than ResultRelInfo * for tuple routing.

  9. Make RelationGetPartitionDispatchInfo expand depth-first.

  10. Expand partitioned tables in PartDesc order.

  11. Use a real RT index when setting up partition tuple routing.

  12. Fix transition tables for partition/inheritance.

  13. Fix confusion about number of subplans in partitioned INSERT setup.

  14. Prevent BEFORE triggers from violating partitioning constraints.

  15. Fire per-statement triggers on partitioned tables.

  16. Fix reporting of violations in ExecConstraints, again.

  17. Don't scan partitioned tables.

  18. Allow FDWs to push down quals without breaking EvalPlanQual rechecks.
