=============================

Thanks!

I excluded regression test "Test: split partition witch identity column" 
from script src/test/regress/sql/partition_split.sql because after 
commit [1] partitions cannot contain identity columns and queries

CREATE TABLE salesmans2_5(salesman_id INT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY 
PRIMARY KEY, salesman_name VARCHAR(30));
ALTER TABLE salesmans ATTACH PARTITION salesmans2_5 FOR VALUES FROM (2) 
TO (5);

returns

ERROR:  table "salesmans2_5" being attached contains an identity column 
"salesman_id"
DETAIL:  The new partition may not contain an identity column.
