And that problem really happens because our inheritance mechanism requires expression translation from parent to child everywhere. That consumes memory, eats CPU cycles and generally downgrades performance of partition related query planning. I think a better way would be to avoid these translations and use Parent var to represent a Var of the child being dealt with. That will be a massive churn on inheritance based planner code, but it will improve planning time for queries involving thousands of partitions.

Yeah, it would be nice going forward to overhaul inheritance planning
such that parent-to-child Var translation is not needed, especially
where no pruning can occur or many partitions remain even after
pruning.
