That seems to be non-intuitive as well. The way it's written it looks
like "a primary key" is associated with p rather than p1.
Is there any column constraint that can not be a table constraint? If
no, then we can think of dropping column constraint syntax all
together and let the user specify column constraints through table
constraint syntax. OR we may drop constraints all-together from the
"CREATE TABLE .. PARTITION OF" syntax and let user handle it through
ALTER TABLE commands. In a later version, we will introduce constraint
syntax in that DDL.
