If the user creates a deferred constraint in a partition, and in a transaction they cause the constraint's trigger execution to be deferred until commit time *and* drop the constraint, then when commit time comes the queued trigger will fail to run because the trigger object will have been dropped. This is explained because when a constraint gets dropped in a partitioned table, the recursion to drop the ones in partitions is done by the dependency mechanism, not by ALTER TABLE traversing the recursion tree as in all other cases. In the non-partitioned case, this problem is avoided by checking that the table is not "in use" by alter-table; other alter-table subcommands that recurse to partitions do that check for each partition. But the dependency mechanism doesn't have a way to do that. Fix the problem by applying the same check to all partitions during ALTER TABLE's "prep" phase, which correctly raises the necessary error.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
