The "except" part seems pretty incoherent to me :(

could use SysCacheGetAttrNotNull()

missing "only" ?

Should this be opened after the following error check ?

Does "arr" need to be freed ?

If I'm reading it right, I think it should say "exists"

I think the comment may be missing words, or backwards.
The index on the *partitioned* table wouldn't be attached.
Is the index on the *partition* that's attached *to* the former index.

Do you intend to make an error here ?

Also, I think these table names may be too generic, and conflict with
other parallel tests, now or in the future.

And here ?
