FWIW I've been thinking that perhaps we need some other separation of code better than statu quo. The current partition.c file includes stuff for several modules and ISTM all these new patches are making more and more of a mess. So +1 to the general idea of splitting things up. Maybe partcache.c is not ambitious enough, but it seems a good first step. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
