I'm not convinced that we want this feature at all: as far as I can see, it will completely destroy the benefits of making a partitioned table in the first place. But if we do want it, I don't think it should be so easy to create a global index by accident as that syntax approach would make it. I think there needs to be a pretty clear YES I WANT TO SHOOT MYSELF IN THE FOOT clause in the command. regards, tom lane
