Whether something is partitioned and whether > it is a partition are independent concerns. Maybe this discussion is easier if we differentiate "list tables" (\dt, or \d without a pattern) from "describe table" (\d with a name pattern). It seems to me that the "describe" command should list partitions -- perhaps only when the + flag is given. However, the "list tables" command \dt should definitely IMO not list partitions. Maybe \dt should have some flag indicating whether each table is partitioned. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
