Not only publication, “\d table_name” also shows partition information:
```
evantest=# \d t_part;
Partitioned table "public.t_part"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
--------+---------+-----------+----------+---------
id | integer | | |
val | integer | | |
Partition key: RANGE (id)
Publications:
"mypub"
Number of partitions: 3 (Use \d+ to list them.)
evantest=# \d t_part_p1;
Table "public.t_part_p1"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
--------+---------+-----------+----------+---------
id | integer | | |
val | integer | | |
Partition of: t_part FOR VALUES FROM (0) TO (100)
```
As you updating this section, you may add “partition info” as well.
