CREATE TABLE does not require PARTITION to be a reserved keyword,
but there are conflicts in ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP PARTITION:
* ALTER TABLE ... DROP [COLUMN] name [CASCADE | RESTRICT] * ALTER TABLE ... DROP PARTITION name [CASCADE | RESTRICT]
There are some solutions:
1. Change COLUMN not to an optional word (unlikely)2. Change syntax of DROP PARTITION to DROP TABLE PARITION or so3.
ChangeALTER TABLE ADD/DROP PARTITION to top level => CREATE/DROP PARTITION name ON table_name
Any better ideas?
