I'm trying to trigger a whole bunch of partitions at once (initial DB
setup) using the same plpgsql trigger.  The trigger is basically the
merge trigger in the docs (i.e. UPDATE IF NOT FOUND RETURN NEW ...).

I need to use the TG_RELNAME variable within the "UPDATE" in the
trigger so that I can use the same function to trigger all of the
partitions (correct?), the problem is that I can't quite figure out
how.  I figure that I will have to use EXECUTE on a string that I
build up, right?  The problem that I'm having with this approach is
that some of the columns of NEW don't have a text conversion, and I'm
getting an error whenever the trigger fires.  Is there a way around
this and/or a better way to trigger a bunch of partitions with the
same function?

Thanks!

       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
