I can second that. Additionally, some vendors tried to fix
partitioning (which uses table inheritance) issues by creating all
sort of extension like CREATE TABLE ... PARTITION BY, and ALTER TABLE
... ALTER PARTITION ... which create all sorts of issues which are not
documented at all but you get response like "yes, we know about this
bug; fix not yet available".
Many people asked for "SQL wrappers" for table partitioning but that's
not easy to do. I would be happy to have out of the box "auto-routing"
for insert/update/copy statements
