It failed if passed a nonexistent relation OID, or one that was a non-heap
relation, because of blindly applying heap_open to a user-supplied OID.
This is not OK behavior for a SQL-exposed function; we have a project
policy that we should return NULL in such cases. Moreover, since
pg_get_partition_constraintdef ought now to work on indexes, restricting
it to heaps is flat wrong anyway.
The underlying function generate_partition_qual() wasn't on board with
indexes having partition quals either, nor for that matter with rels
having relispartition set but yet null relpartbound. (One wonders
whether the person who wrote the function comment blocks claiming that
these functions allow a missing relpartbound had ever tested it.)
Fix by testing relispartition before opening the rel, and by using
relation_open not heap_open. (If any other relkinds ever grow the
ability to have relispartition set, the code will work with them
automatically.) Also, don't reject null relpartbound in
generate_partition_qual.
Back-patch to v11, and all but the null-relpartbound change to v10.
(It's not really necessary to change generate_partition_qual at all
in v10, but I thought s/heap_open/relation_open/ would be a good
idea anyway just to keep the code in sync with later branches.)
Per report from Justin Pryzby.

Two out of three code paths were mapping column numbers correctly if a
partition had different column numbers than parent table, but the most
commonly used one (recursing in CREATE INDEX to a new index on a
partition) failed to map attribute numbers in expressions. Oddly
enough, attnums in WHERE clauses are already handled correctly
everywhere.

The bug is caused due to the original IndexStmt that DefineIndex receives
being overwritten when processing the INCLUDE columns. Use separate list of
index params to propagate to child tables. Add tests covering this case.

Remember the last page of an index insert if it's the rightmost leaf
page. If the next entry belongs on and can fit in the remembered page,
insert the new entry there as long as we can get a lock on the page.
Otherwise, fall back on the more expensive method of searching for
the right place to insert the entry.
This provides a performance improvement for the common case where an
index entry is for monotonically increasing or nearly monotonically
increasing value such as an identity field or a current timestamp.

If a table containing a primary key is attach as partition to a
partitioned table which has a primary key with a different definition,
we would happily create a second one in the new partition. Oops. It
turns out that this is because an error check in DefineIndex is executed
only if you tell it that it's being run by ALTER TABLE, and the original
code here wasn't. Change it so that it does.
Added a couple of test cases for this, also. A previously working test
started to fail in a different way than before patch because the new
check is called earlier; change the PK to plain UNIQUE so that the new
behavior isn't invoked, so that the test continues to verify what we
want it to verify.

If we restrict unique constraints on partitioned tables so that they
must always include the partition key, then our standard approach to
unique indexes already works --- each unique key is forced to exist
within a single partition, so enforcing the unique restriction in each
index individually is enough to have it enforced globally. Therefore we
can implement unique indexes on partitions by simply removing a few
restrictions (and adding others.)

get_relation_info() was too optimistic about opening indexes in
partitioned tables, which would raise errors when any queries were
planned on such tables. Fix by ignoring any indexes of the partitioned
kind.
CLUSTER (and ALTER TABLE CLUSTER ON) had a similar problem. Fix by
disallowing these commands in partitioned tables.
Fallout from 8b08f7d482.
When CREATE INDEX is run on a partitioned table, create catalog entries
for an index on the partitioned table (which is just a placeholder since
the table proper has no data of its own), and recurse to create actual
indexes on the existing partitions; create them in future partitions
also.
As a convenience gadget, if the new index definition matches some
existing index in partitions, these are picked up and used instead of
creating new ones. Whichever way these indexes come about, they become
attached to the index on the parent table and are dropped alongside it,
and cannot be dropped on isolation unless they are detached first.
To support pg_dump'ing these indexes, add commands
CREATE INDEX ON ONLY <table>
(which creates the index on the parent partitioned table, without
recursing) and
ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION
(which is used after the indexes have been created individually on each
partition, to attach them to the parent index). These reconstruct prior
database state exactly.
