[doc] improve tableoid description Hi Attached patch aims to improve the description of the tableoid system column [1] by: - mentioning it's useful for determining table names for partitioned tables as well as for those in inheritance hierarchies - mentioning the possibility of casting tableoid to regclass (which is simpler than the currently suggested join on pg_class, which is only needed if the schema name is absolutely required) [1] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-system-columns.html Regards Ian Barwick -- EnterpriseDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com
