pg_partitioned_table

The pg_partitioned_table system catalog stores information about how tables are partitioned.

column type references description
partrelid oid pg_class.oid The object identifier of the pg_class entry for this partitioned table.
partstrat char The partitioning strategy: h = hash partitioned table, l = list partitioned table, r = range partitioned table.
partnatts smallint The number of columns in the partition key.
partdefid oid pg_class.oid The object identifier of the pg_class entry for the default partition of this partitioned table, or zero if this partitioned table does not have a default partition.
partattrs int2vector pg_attribute.attnum An array of partnatts values that indicate which table columns are part of the partition key. For example, a value of 1 3 would mean that the first and the third table columns make up the partition key. A zero in this array indicates that the corresponding partition key column is an expression, rather than a simple column reference.
partclass oidvector pg_opclass.oid For each column in the partition key, contains the object identifier of the operator class to use. See pg_opclass for details.
partcollation oidvector pg_opclass.oid For each column in the partition key, contains the object identifier of the collation to use for partitioning, or zero if the column is not of a collatable data type.
partexprs pg_node_tree Expression trees (in nodeToString() representation) for partition key columns that are not simple column references. This list contains one element for each zero entry in partattrs. Null if all partition key columns are simple references. Greenplum Database classic partition syntax does not support specifying an expression in a partition key.
