Flattening the partitioning hierarchy at this stage makes various desirable optimizations difficult. The original use case for this patch was partition-wise join, which wants to match up the partitions in one partitioning hierarchy with those in another such hierarchy. However, it now seems that it will also be useful in making partition pruning work using the PartitionDesc rather than constraint exclusion, because with a flattened expansion, we have no easy way to figure out which PartitionDescs apply to which leaf tables in a multi-level partition hierarchy. As it turns out, we end up creating both rte->inh and !rte->inh RTEs for each intermediate partitioned table, just as we previously did for the root table. This seems unnecessary since the partitioned tables have no storage and are not scanned. We might want to go back and rejigger things so that no partitioned tables (including the parent) need !rte->inh RTEs, but that seems to require some adjustments not related to the core purpose of this patch.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
