So, it seems at least that showing "partition" as the Type of tables that
are actually partitions is preferable. I created a patch (attached 0001)
that implements that. It makes \d show any relations that have
relispartition = true as of type "partition" or "foreign partition". With
the patch:
create table p (a int) partition by list (a);
-- regular table as partition
create table p1 partition of p for values in (1)
-- foreign table as partition
create foreign data wrapper dummy;
create server dummy foreign data wrapper dummy;
create foreign table p2 partition of p for values in (2) server dummy;
-- partitioned table as partition
create table p3 partition of p for values in (3) partition by list (a);
\d
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
--------+------+-------------------+-------
public | p | table | amit
public | p1 | partition | amit
public | p2 | foreign partition | amit
public | p3 | partition | amit
(4 rows)
Also, there seems to be at least some preference for excluding partitions
by default from the \d listing. Attached 0002 implements that. To enable
showing partitions, the patch adds a new modifier '!' to \d (picked '!'
from Robert's email on this thread [1]). With the patch:
\d
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
--------+------+-------+-------
public | p | table | amit
(1 row)
\d!
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
--------+------+-------------------+-------
public | p | table | amit
public | p1 | partition | amit
public | p2 | foreign partition | amit
public | p3 | partition | amit
(4 rows)
\d!+
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner | Size | Description
--------+------+-------------------+-------+---------+-------------
public | p | table | amit | 0 bytes |
public | p1 | partition | amit | 0 bytes |

public | p3 | partition | amit | 0 bytes |

Thanks,
