Re: ToDo: show size of partitioned table

The following review has been posted through the commitfest application:
make installcheck-world: tested, failed
Implements feature: tested, passed
Spec compliant: not tested
Documentation: tested, passed

Hi,

I'm with Melanie Plageman running the SVPUG Patch Review Meetup. I tested this feature on my Mac. The patch applied cleanly on master, and the feature worked as expected with the SQL at the bottom of this email (Jesse Zhang suggested the two-level partitioning). installcheck passed but installcheck-world did not.

I do have a feedback on the implementation. The code tries to support older PostgreSQL server versions when declarative partitions were not supported before version 10 (relkind value of 'p'). Those versions will never return any result from the query being built. So I would suggest an early return from the function. The upside would be that the query building would be simpler. I can make patch implementing that suggestion if you want.

Sincerely,

INSERT INTO partition SELECT i % 100 AS part, i AS value FROM generate_series(1, 1000000) AS i;
