#3766: geometry_columns and raster_columns views do not list parent partitioned
tables of PostgreSQL 10

 Priority:  blocker        |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.4.0
Component:  postgis        |    Version:  trunk
 Keywords:  postgresql 10  |
---------------------------+---------------------------
 One of the new features of PostgreSQL 10 is declaritive partitioning.

 Unfortunately it seems a parent partition table is not caught by our views
 though interestingly the child partitions are.

 Here is an example that exercises the issue:


 {{{
 CREATE TABLE logs_geom_geog_parent_part (
 log_id int GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY,
 log_ts timestamp with time zone NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp, geom
 geometry(point), geog geography(point)
 ) PARTITION BY RANGE (log_ts);


 CREATE TABLE pgis_parent_part_child_1 PARTITION OF pgis_parent_part FOR
 VALUES FROM (unbounded) TO (unbounded);
 }}}

 Now if you do select from the various tables, you should have 2 records,
 but get back only one.


 {{{
 SELECT f_table_name AS t, f_geometry_column AS gc
 FROM geometry_columns;
 }}}


 {{{
             t             |  gc
 --------------------------+------
  pgis_parent_part_child_1 | geom
 (1 row)
 }}}

 {{{
 SELECT r_table_name AS t, r_raster_column AS gc
 FROM raster_columns;
 }}}


 {{{
             t             |  gc
 --------------------------+------
  pgis_parent_part_child_1 | rast
 (1 row)
 }}}

 -- however geography does
 {{{
 SELECT f_table_name AS t, f_geography_column AS gc
 FROM geography_columns;
 }}}


 {{{
             t             |  gc
 --------------------------+------
  pgis_parent_part         | geog
  pgis_parent_part_child_1 | geog
 (2 rows)
 }}}


 Not sure what makes geography_columns different from raster_columns and
 geometry_columns.  I'm guessing it might be some sort of permission check
 we are doing perhaps in raster and geometry that we aren't doing in
 geography_columns.

 FWIW, it's not just us.  I notice in pgAdmin3 and pgADmin 4 (version 1.4),
 I can't see the parent partitions listed in the table tree.
