PostgreSQL 16 - Detach partition with FK - Error

Hi all,

Issue: After upgrading to PostgreSQL version 16.6 from 15. I see a different behavior when detaching partitions with FK. Scenario 1 works on 15 but stopped working on 16.x

CREATE TABLE table1 (
      enti_id varchar(75) NOT NULL,
      archive_dt date NOT NULL DEFAULT '9999-01-01'::date,
      CONSTRAINT table1_pk PRIMARY KEY (enti_id, archive_dt)
)
PARTITION BY RANGE (archive_dt);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS table1_202401 PARTITION OF table1
FOR VALUES FROM ('2024-01-01') TO ('2024-02-01');

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS table1_202402 PARTITION OF table1
FOR VALUES FROM ('2024-02-01') TO ('2024-03-01');

--table1_child
CREATE TABLE table1_child (
      enti_id varchar(75) NOT NULL,       
      parnt_id varchar(75) NOT NULL,      
      archive_dt date NOT NULL DEFAULT '9999-01-01'::date,
      CONSTRAINT table1_child_pk PRIMARY KEY (enti_id, archive_dt)
)
PARTITION BY RANGE (archive_dt);
CREATE INDEX table1_child_idx ON ONLY table1_child USING btree (parnt_id);
ALTER TABLE table1_child ADD CONSTRAINT table1_child_fk1 FOREIGN KEY (parnt_id,archive_dt) REFERENCES table1(enti_id,archive_dt) ON UPDATE CASCADE;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS table1_child_202401 PARTITION OF table1_child
FOR VALUES FROM ('2024-01-01') TO ('2024-02-01');

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS table1_child_202402 PARTITION OF table1_child
FOR VALUES FROM ('2024-02-01') TO ('2024-03-01');

--Sceanrio 2: detach partition from child
--detach partition from child
select * from table1

alter table table1_child detach partition table1_child_202402

alter table table1_child_202402 drop constraint table1_child_fk1

alter table table1 detach partition table1_202402

Scenario 2 works on 16 and seems to be the logical way but was wondering if this was a change.

Thanks,
