Apologies for the delay. I was waffling over whether to reference
PartitionedRelationId in sepgsql, but ended up deciding to just handle
RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE and treat the classOid as
RelationRelationId. Seeing as there is a relid in pg_class which
corresponds to the partitioned table, this chosen route seemed
acceptable.

Here is a demonstration of the partitioned table working with sepgsql hooks:

Attached you will find two patches, which were rebased on master as of
156d388 (applied with `git am --revert [patch file]`). The first gets
rid of some pesky compiler warnings and the second implements the
sepgsql handling of partitioned tables.

Thanks,
