Hi!

Attached is a patch with corrections based on comments in previous 
letters (I think these corrections are not final).
I'll be very grateful for feedbacks and bug reports.

Corrected. Result is:

\d+ s1.*
Table "s1.tp0"
...
Table "s1.tp1"
...
\d+ tp*
Did not find any relation named "tp*".

Fixed.

In next releases I want to allow specifying options (probably, first of 
all, specifying tablespace of the partitions).
But before that, I would like to get a users reaction - what options 
they really need?
