Declarative partitioning duplicated the TypedTableElement productions, evidently to remove the need to specify WITH OPTIONS when creating partitions. Instead, simply make WITH OPTIONS optional in the TypedTableElement production and remove all of the duplicate PartitionElement-related productions. This change simplifies the syntax and makes WITH OPTIONS optional when adding defaults, constraints or storage parameters to columns when creating either typed tables or partitions. Also update pg_dump to no longer include WITH OPTIONS, since it's not necessary, and update the documentation to reflect that WITH OPTIONS is now optional.
src/backend/parser/README Parser ====== This directory does more than tokenize and parse SQL queries. It also creates Query structures for the various complex queries that are passed to the optimizer and then executor. parser.c things start here scan.l break query into tokens scansup.c handle escapes in input strings gram.y parse the tokens and produce a "raw" parse tree analyze.c top level of parse analysis for optimizable queries parse_agg.c handle aggregates, like SUM(col1), AVG(col2), ... parse_clause.c handle clauses like WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, ... parse_coerce.c handle coercing expressions to different data types parse_collate.c assign collation information in completed expressions parse_cte.c handle Common Table Expressions (WITH clauses) parse_expr.c handle expressions like col, col + 3, x = 3 or x = 4 parse_func.c handle functions, table.column and column identifiers parse_node.c create nodes for various structures parse_oper.c handle operators in expressions parse_param.c handle Params (for the cases used in the core backend) parse_relation.c support routines for tables and column handling parse_target.c handle the result list of the query parse_type.c support routines for data type handling parse_utilcmd.c parse analysis for utility commands (done at execution time) See also src/common/keywords.c, which contains the table of standard keywords and the keyword lookup function. We separated that out because various frontend code wants to use it too.
