A partition using <literal>FOR VALUES</literal> uses same syntax for

<replaceable class="parameter">partition_bound_spec</replaceable> as

<link linkend="sql-createtable"><command>CREATE TABLE</command></link>. The partition bound specification

<link linkend="sql-createtable"><command>CREATE TABLE</command></link>.

The partition bound specification

must correspond to the partitioning strategy and partition key of the

target table. The table to be attached must have all the same columns

as the target table and no more; moreover, the column types must also

match. Also, it must have all the <literal>NOT NULL</literal> and

<literal>CHECK</literal> constraints of the target table. Currently

<literal>CHECK</literal> constraints of the target table, not marked

<literal>NO INHERIT</literal>. Currently

<literal>FOREIGN KEY</literal> constraints are not considered.

<literal>UNIQUE</literal> and <literal>PRIMARY KEY</literal> constraints

from the parent table will be created in the partition, if they don't

already exist.

If any of the <literal>CHECK</literal> constraints of the table being

attached are marked <literal>NO INHERIT</literal>, the command will fail;

such constraints must be recreated without the

<literal>NO INHERIT</literal> clause.
