Re: Partition Creation Permissions

Ah, I didn't realize that was an option on the function. They're already
being created by a trigger (the table is partitioned on a foreign key, so
partitions are created by a trigger on the referenced table); it sounds
like I can just update that trigger function with `security definer`.
