Michael Paquier dc3e436b19 Block creation of partitions with open references to its parent
When a partition is created as part of a trigger processing, it is
possible that the partition which just gets created changes the
properties of the table the executor of the ongoing command relies on,
causing a subsequent crash.  This has been found possible when for
example using a BEFORE INSERT which creates a new partition for a
partitioned table being inserted to.

Any attempt to do so is blocked when working on a partition, with
regression tests added for both CREATE TABLE PARTITION OF and ALTER
TABLE ATTACH PARTITION.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
