Agree that it looks horrible. The problem is we don't add partition
(child table) RTEs when planning an insert on the parent and FDW
partitions can't do without some planner handling - planForeignModify()
expects a valid PlannerInfo for deparsing target lists (basically, to be
able to use planner_rt_fetch()).
If it's only needed for foreign tables, how about for v1 we just throw
an error and say errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),
errmsg("cannot route inserted tuples to a foreign table") for now. We
can come back and fix it later. Doing more inheritance expansion
Coming up with some new FDW API or some modification
to the existing one is probably better, but I don't really want to get
hung up on that right now.
I started working on this. I agree that the changes made in
make_modifytable would be unacceptable, but I'd vote for Amit's idea of
passing a modified PlannerInfo to PlanForeignModify so that the FDW can
do query planning for INSERT into a foreign partition in the same way as
for INSERT into a non-partition foreign table. (Though, I think we
should generate a more-valid-looking working-copy of the PlannerInfo
which has Query with the foreign partition as target.) I'm not sure
it's a good idea to add a new FDW API or modify the existing one such as
PlanForeignModify for this purpose.
