Обсуждение: [COMMITTERS] pgsql: Expand partitioned table RTEs level by level,without flattening

Expand partitioned table RTEs level by level, without flattening.

Flattening the partitioning hierarchy at this stage makes various
desirable optimizations difficult.  The original use case for this
patch was partition-wise join, which wants to match up the partitions
in one partitioning hierarchy with those in another such hierarchy.
However, it now seems that it will also be useful in making partition
pruning work using the PartitionDesc rather than constraint exclusion,
because with a flattened expansion, we have no easy way to figure out
which PartitionDescs apply to which leaf tables in a multi-level
partition hierarchy.

As it turns out, we end up creating both rte->inh and !rte->inh RTEs
for each intermediate partitioned table, just as we previously did for
the root table.  This seems unnecessary since the partitioned tables
have no storage and are not scanned.  We might want to go back and
rejigger things so that no partitioned tables (including the parent)
need !rte->inh RTEs, but that seems to require some adjustments not
related to the core purpose of this patch.

Ashutosh Bapat, reviewed by me and by Amit Langote.  Some final
adjustments by me.

testing with sqlsmith shows that the following assertion in this commit
doesn't hold:

TRAP: FailedAssertion("!(((brel)->reloptkind == RELOPT_BASEREL || (brel)->reloptkind == RELOPT_OTHER_MEMBER_REL))",
File:"initsplan.c", Line: 647)
 

One of the simpler queries that triggers it for me:
   select from information_schema.user_mapping_options;

regards,
Andreas
