Re: make \d pg_toast.foo show its indices ; and, \d toast show itsmain table ; and \d relkind=I show its partitions (and tablespace) - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

I'm continuing this thread with an additional change to slash dee for
partitioned indexes.

postgres=# \d ttz_i_idx
 Partitioned index "public.ttz_i_idx"
 Column |  Type   | Key? | Definition 
--------+---------+------+------------
 i      | integer | yes  | i
btree, for table "public.ttz"
Number of partitions: 2 (Use \d+ to list them.)

postgres=# \d+ ttz_i_idx
             Partitioned index "public.ttz_i_idx"
 Column |  Type   | Key? | Definition | Storage | Stats target 
--------+---------+------+------------+---------+--------------
 i      | integer | yes  | i          | plain   | 
btree, for table "public.ttz"
Partitions: ttz1_i_idx,
            ttz2_i_idx, PARTITIONED

Showing the list of index partitions is probably not frequently useful, but
consider the case of non-default names, for example due to truncation.

I didn't update regression output; note that this patch also, by chance, causes
tablespace of partitioned indexes to be output, which I think is good and an
oversight that it isn't currently shown.

I added CF entry and including previous two patches for CFBOT purposes.

Recap: Tom, Andreas, Robert, Stephen and I agree that \d toast should show the
main table.  Rafia and Alvaro think that \d on the main table should (also?)
show its toast.
