Browse Source 
The previous wording is easy to read incorrectly; this change makes it
simpler, less ambiguous, and less prominent.

Backpatch to all live branches.

<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.
