partnattsint2The number of columns in the partition key
partdefidoidThe OID of the pg_class entry for the default partition of this partitioned table, or zero if this partitioned table does not have a default partition
pg_class.oid
partattrsint2vectorThis is an array of partnatts values that indicate which table columns are part of the partition key. For example, a value of 1 3 would mean that the first and the third table columns make up the partition key. A zero in this array indicates that the corresponding partition key column is an expression, rather than a simple column reference.
pg_attribute.attnum
partclassoidvectorFor each column in the partition key, this contains the OID of the operator class to use. See pg_opclass for details.
pg_opclass.oid
partcollationoidvectorFor each column in the partition key, this contains the OID of the collation to use for partitioning, or zero if the column is not of a collatable data type.
pg_collation.oid
partexprspg_node_treeExpression trees (in nodeToString() representation) for partition key columns that are not simple column references. This is a list with one element for each zero entry in partattrs. Null if all partition key columns are simple references.
