Hello,
Thank you for reviewing.
I'm working on fixing the patch according to the comments.
I'll send it as soon as I can.

I've been thinking about traditional inheritance, I realized that we
need additional
handling to support them because unlike declarative partitioning,
parents may have
some rows in the case of traditional inheritance as Alvaro mentioned.
So I think we should support only declarative partitioning in this
patch for now,
but what do you think? I'm not sure but if we can solve this matter
at low cost by
using the shared memory stats patch, should we wait for the patch?
