p1 is a partitioned table.  (BTW, could I lobby for people not to use such
generic, collision-prone names for tables that will be left behind after
the regression tests?)  Also, I find that "vacuum analyze" is sufficient,
or even just "analyze", or "analyze p1".  I think it's highly likely this
was introduced by 3c3bb99330aa9b4c2f6258bfa0265d806bf365c3.  Certainly
that failed to add appropriate regression test cases, or we would have
noticed this already.

That's right, sorry about that.  Attached patch fixes the relcache leak
and adds tests in vacuum.sql and truncate.sql.

Thanks,
Amit

(I was just poking at that)            if (childrel != onerel)                heap_close(childrel, AccessShareLock);
+            else
+                heap_close(childrel, NoLock);            continue;
Shouldn't that be conditional on the relkind of childrel?

I think we could simply Assert that childrel is partitioned table in this
whole block.  A child table could be a regular table, a materialized view
(?), a foreign table and a partitioned table, the first three of which are
handled by the first two blocks.

Updated patch attached.

Also, I found out that alter_table.sql mistakenly forgot to drop
partitioned table "p1".  Patch 0002 takes care of that.

Thanks,
Amit

While that might or might not have been intentional, I think it's an
astoundingly bad idea to not leave any partitioned tables behind in
the final state of the regression database.  Doing so would likely
have meant that this particular bug evaded detection for much longer
than it did.  Moreover, it would mean that the pg_upgrade test would
have exactly no coverage of partitioned cases.

Therefore, there should definitely be a partitioned table, hopefully with
a less generic name than "p1", in the final regression DB state.  Whether
this particular one from alter_table.sql is a good candidate, I dunno.
But let's not drop it without adding a better-thought-out replacement.

That's true.  Should have been apparent to me.

OK, let's drop p1 in alter_table.sql.  I think a partitioned table created
in insert.sql is a good candidate to keep around after having it renamed,
which patch 0003 does.

Amit

Committed 0001.

Committed 0002 and 0003 together.
