Note that postgres 9 didn't have native/declarative partitioning, and most
improvements in native partitioning don't apply to legacy/inheritance
partitioning.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/ddl-partitioning.html

"Native" partitioning added in v10 tends to require stronger locks for add/drop
than legacy partitioning, since partitions have associated bounds, which cannot
overlap. The locking is improved in v12 with CREATE+ATTACH and v14 with
DETACH CONCURRENTLY+DROP.
