For now, I’ve limited the change to REPLICA IDENTITY to see whether there are objections to this approach. If there are none, I plan to extend the same warning behavior to the other sub-commands listed above. After that, users can reasonably assume that an ALTER TABLE partitioned_table ... action will recurse to child partitions unless a warning explicitly tells them otherwise.
It should be a notice, not a warning.
How about indicating how many partitions were affected in the notice and allowing the absence of such a notice to be the indicator that cascading did not happen?
