Thanks! I realized however that the approach I used in 0002 of passing
the original slot to ExecConstraints() fails in certain situations. For
example, if a BR trigger changes the tuple, the original slot would not
receive those changes, so it will be wrong to use such a tuple anymore.
In attached 0001, I switched back to the approach of converting the
partition-tupdesc-based tuple back to the root partitioned table's format.
The converted tuple contains the changes by BR triggers, if any. Sorry
about some unnecessary work.

I've replaced this portion of the code with (as also mentioned below):
/* Quick copy */
if (rel->rd_partcheck != NIL)
return copyObject(rel->rd_partcheck);
Down below (for the case when the partition qual is not cached, we now do
this:
my_qual = get_qual_from_partbound(rel, parent, bound);
/* Add the parent's quals to the list (if any) */
if (parent->rd_rel->relispartition)
result = list_concat(generate_partition_qual(parent), my_qual);
else
result = my_qual;
/*
* Change Vars to have partition's attnos instead of the parent's.
* We do this after we concatenate the parent's quals, because
* we want every Var in it to bear this relation's attnos.
*/
result = map_partition_varattnos(result, rel, parent);
Which is then cached wholly in rd_partcheck.
As for your concern whether it's correct to do so, consider that doing
generate_partition_qual() on the parent returns qual with Vars that bear
the parent's attnos (which is OK as far parent as partition is concerned).
To apply the qual to the current relation as partition, we must change
the Vars to have this relation's attnos.

Makes sense. I fixed so that we return copyObject(rel->rd_partcheck), if
it's non-NIL, instead of generating parent's qual and doing the mapping
again. For some reason, I thought we couldn't save the mapped version in
the relcache.
By the way, in addition to the previously mentioned bug of RETURNING, I
found that WITH CHECK OPTION didn't work correctly as well. In fact
automatically updatable views failed to consider partitioned tables at
all. Patch 0007 is addressed towards fixing that.
Thanks,
Amit
