I don't think creating a table like a partition is common or even useful.
Usually it would create it from partitithe oned table. But if we consider
that to be a use case, I think the error is expected since a partition
doesn't have its own identity; it shares it with the partitioned table.
Maybe we could give a better message. But I will look into this and fix it
if the solution makes sense.

Do you want to track this in open items?
