If the partition keys of input relation are part of the GROUP BY
clause, all the rows belonging to a given group come from a single
partition. This allows aggregation/grouping over a partitioned
relation to be broken down * into aggregation/grouping on each
partition. This should be no worse, and often better, than the normal
approach.
If the GROUP BY clause does not contain all the partition keys, we can
still perform partial aggregation for each partition and then finalize
aggregation after appending the partial results. This is less certain
to be a win, but it's still useful.

Linking within SGML documents can be confusing, so here is a summary:
Intra-document Linking
----------------------
<xref>
use to get chapter/section number from the title of the target
link, or xreflabel if defined at the target, or refentrytitle if target
is a refentry; has no close tag
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/xref.html
<link>
use to supply text for the link, requires </link>
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/link.html
linkend=
controls the target of the link/xref, required
endterm=
for <xref>, allows the text of the link/xref to be taken from a
different link target title
External Linking
----------------
<ulink>
like <link>, but uses a URL (not a document target); requires
</ulink>; if no text is specified, the URL appears as the link
text
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/ulink.html
url=
used by <ulink> to specify the URL, required
Guidelines
----------
o If you want to supply text, use <link>, else <xref>
o Do not use text with <ulink> so the URL appears in printed output
o Specific nouns like GUC variables, SQL commands, and contrib modules
usually have xreflabels
