Why do you think this would break with missing sequence numbers?

        hp

In the suggested query, the return value contains a list of sequential numbers from a min to a max - they seem to be markers of the partitions. Let's assume that a complete partition is deleted in the middle: its index will still be returned by the query, although it doesn't exist any more in the table. It can be an issue if the list of indexes is actually used and partitions are not deleted sequentially.

My cent worth to ensure data integrity.
