Thought correct that suggestion is problematic for upgrades. Probably
users will create triggers using same function on all the partitions.
After the upgrade when we start supporting BEFORE TRIGGER on
partitioned table, the user will have to drop these triggers and
create one trigger on the partitioned table to have the trigger to be
applicable to the new partitions created.
