Fix --missing-stats-only false positive for partitioned expression indexes - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Steps to reproduce:

  CREATE TABLE parent (a int, b int) PARTITION BY RANGE (a);
  CREATE TABLE child1 PARTITION OF parent FOR VALUES FROM (1) TO (100);
  CREATE TABLE child2 PARTITION OF parent FOR VALUES FROM (100) TO (200);
  CREATE INDEX ON parent ((a + b));
  INSERT INTO parent SELECT i, i FROM generate_series(1, 199) i;
  ANALYZE;

  $ vacuumdb --missing-stats-only --analyze-only -v postgres 2>&1 | grep "public\."
  INFO:  analyzing "public.parent" inheritance tree   -- should not appear
  INFO:  analyzing "public.child1"                    -- should not appear
  INFO:  analyzing "public.child2"                    -- should not appear

Running ANALYZE again doesn't help. The table is always flagged.

This is because expression index stats check looks for stainherit=true rows on
the partitioned index, but those never exist (only leaf indexes get
stats).  Fix is one line to skip the check when p.inherited is true.

Patch attached.
