Thanks for the patch. 

While doing code review of v24-0001, I found the performance degradation case.

[creating tables]
drop table rt;
create table rt (a int, b int, c int) partition by range (a);
\o /dev/null
select 'create table rt' || x::text || ' partition of rt for values from (' ||
 (x)::text || ') to (' || (x+1)::text || ');' from generate_series(1, 3) x;
\gexec
\o

drop table if exists jrt;
create table jrt (a int, b int, c int) partition by range (a);
\o /dev/null
select 'create table jrt' || x::text || ' partition of jrt for values from (' ||
 (x)::text || ') to (' || (x+1)::text || ');' from generate_series(1, 1024) x;
\gexec
\o

[update_pt_with_joining_another_pt.sql]
update rt set c = jrt.c + 100 from jrt where rt.b = jrt.b;

[pgbench]
pgbench -n -f update_pt_with_joining_another_pt_for_ptkey.sql -T 60 postgres

[results]

With HEAD, we add target inheritance and source inheritance to parse->rtable in inheritance_planner and copy and adjust
itfor child tables at beginning of each planning of child tables.
 

With the 0001 patch, we add target inheritance to parse->rtable in inheritance_planner and add source inheritance to
parse->rtablein make_one_rel(under grouping_planner()) during each planning of child tables.
 
Adding source inheritance to parse->rtable may be the same process between each planning of child tables and it might
beuseless. OTOH, from the POV of making inheritance-expansion-at-bottom better, expanding source inheritance in
make_one_relseems correct design to me.
 

How should we do that...?
