why Postraphile isn't exposing the parent table instead of the partition tables.

I am raising one question addressing why Postraphile isn't exposing the parent table instead of the partition tables.

Why: because Postgres didn’t support partition tables when v4 came about and no-one added support until recently.

What can you do about it: this is fixed in version 5, and you can also work around it in V4 with the option detailed in this PR: graphile/graphile-engine#801

we are using "postgraphile": "4.13.0", still facing the same issues

graphqlRoute: "/shield/graphql",
graphiqlRoute: "/shield/graphiql",
eventStreamRoute: "/shield/graphql/stream",
ownerConnectionString: process.env.OWNER_CONNECTION_STRING,
watchPg: true,
graphiql: true,
enhanceGraphiql: true,
pgUsePartitionParents: true,
enableCors: false,
disableWarning: true,
statement_timeout: "3600000",
appendPlugins: [
require("@graphile-contrib/pg-simplify-inflector"),
require("postgraphile-plugin-connection-filter"),
],
}
),
this is the piece of code we using.

As shown in the link above, the option goes inside of graphileBuildOptions
