Hi All

For further implementation following task needs to be work upon:

   - How to parse and show partitions keys. For example user has created
   below partitioned table

CREATE TABLE public.sales
(
    country character varying COLLATE pg_catalog."default" NOT NULL,
    sales bigint,
    saledate date
) PARTITION BY RANGE (*country, date_part('year'::text, sale date)*)

When user open the properties dialog I am not able to figure out how to
parse keys(displayed in bold in above example) and show them in our control
that we used. For the time being I have hide that control in 'Edit' mode
(Refer Attach Partition.png)


   - *Support of sub partitioning*: To implement sub-partitioning, specify
   the PARTITION BY clause in the commands used to create individual
   partitions, for example:
   -

   CREATE TABLE measurement_y2006 PARTITION OF measurement
       FOR VALUES FROM ('2006-02-01') TO ('2006-03-01')
       PARTITION BY RANGE (peaktemp);


           To achieve above I have made some changes in GUI (Refer Sub
Partition.png).
           *Complex and challenging part here is "measurement_y2006" is
partition of "measurement" and parent table for other partitions too which
user can create later. How we will going to show this in browser tree? *
           One option could be
           Tables
             ->measurement(table)
               ->Partitions
                 ->measurement_y2006(Partition of measurement and parent of
p1)
                   ->Partitions
                     ->p1

   - *Attach Partitions*: To implement attach N partitions I have made some
   changes in GUI( Refer Attach Partition.png). Attach Partitions control
   will only be visible in "Edit" mode.

I have only modified the UI changes, there are lots of work needs to be
done to complete that.
Please review the design. Suggestions/Comments are welcome.
