structure equivalent to the
      declarative partitioning example above.  Use
      the following steps:

      </p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist compact" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>
         Create the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">root</span>”</span> table, from which all of the
         <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">child</span>”</span> tables will inherit.  This table will contain no data.  Do not
         define any check constraints on this table,
