pg_partition

The pg_partition system catalog table is used to track partitioned tables and their inheritance level relationships. Each row of pg_partition represents either the level of a partitioned table in the partition hierarchy, or a subpartition template description. The value of the attribute paristemplate determines what a particular row represents.
