This adds support for using statement-level triggers with transition tables to hypertables. We deliberately do not support statement-level nor row-level triggers with transition tables on chunks and error out if attempts are made to either add such triggers to a chunk or create a hypertable from a table with such triggers.

We also change the error messages to look more like the corresponding PostgreSQL error message.

In the pg source there is explicit comment blocking transition tables for partitioned tables did you investigate the reason for this? I think you might have to do attribute mapping if we decide to allow this. This also needs rebase since PG13 support has been removed.

Note: It is possible to add a trigger on an inherited table, but that might require an attribute re-mapping so not sure we should support it. The situation where this can be a problem is if we modify the parent table (by adding and removing attributes) and then add new inherited tables they will have a different set of attribute numbers, which might require a re-mapping of the attributes.

Support for row triggers with transition tables on chunks or hypertables are blocked.

This release introduces the ability to add secondary indexes to the columnstore, improves group by and filtering performance through columnstore vectorization, and contains the highly upvoted community request of transition table support. We recommend that you upgrade at the next available opportunity.

**Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.17.0**

* The ability to add secondary indexes to the columnstore through the new hypercore table access method.
* Significant performance improvements through vectorization (`SIMD`) for aggregations using a group by with one column and/or using a filter clause when querying the columnstore.
* Hypertables support triggers for transition tables, which is one of the most upvoted community feature requests.
* Updated methods to manage Timescale's hybrid row-columnar store (hypercore) that highlight the usage of the columnstore which includes both an optimized columnar format as well as compression.

**Dropping support for Bitnami images**

After the recent change in Bitnami’s [LTS support policy](bitnami/containers#75671), we are no longer building Bitnami images for TimescaleDB. We recommend using the [official TimescaleDB Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/timescale/timescaledb-ha)

**Deprecation Notice**

We are deprecating the following parameters, functions, procedures and views. They will be removed with the next major release of TimescaleDB. Please find the replacements in the table below:

| Deprecated | Replacement | Type |
| --- | --- | --- |

This release introduces the ability to add secondary indexes to the columnstore, improves group by and filtering performance through columnstore vectorization, and contains the highly upvoted community request of transition table support. We recommend that you upgrade at the next available opportunity.

**Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.18.0**

* The ability to add secondary indexes to the columnstore through the new hypercore table access method.
* Significant performance improvements through vectorization (`SIMD`) for aggregations using a group by with one column and/or using a filter clause when querying the columnstore.
* Hypertables support triggers for transition tables, which is one of the most upvoted community feature requests.
* Updated methods to manage Timescale's hybrid row-columnar store (hypercore) that highlight the usage of the columnstore which includes both an optimized columnar format as well as compression.

**Dropping support for Bitnami images**

After the recent change in Bitnami’s [LTS support policy](bitnami/containers#75671), we are no longer building Bitnami images for TimescaleDB. We recommend using the [official TimescaleDB Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/timescale/timescaledb-ha)

This release introduces the ability to add secondary indexes to the columnstore, improves group by and filtering performance through columnstore vectorization, and contains the highly upvoted community request of transition table support. We recommend that you upgrade at the next available opportunity.

**Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.18.0**

* The ability to add secondary indexes to the columnstore through the new hypercore table access method.
* Significant performance improvements through vectorization (`SIMD`) for aggregations using a group by with one column and/or using a filter clause when querying the columnstore.
* Hypertables support triggers for transition tables, which is one of the most upvoted community feature requests.
* Updated methods to manage Timescale's hybrid row-columnar store (hypercore) that highlight the usage of the columnstore which includes both an optimized columnar format as well as compression.

**Dropping support for Bitnami images**

After the recent change in Bitnami’s [LTS support policy](bitnami/containers#75671), we are no longer building Bitnami images for TimescaleDB. We recommend using the [official TimescaleDB Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/timescale/timescaledb-ha)

**Deprecation Notice**

We are deprecating the following parameters, functions, procedures and views. They will be removed with the next major release of TimescaleDB. Please find the replacements in the table below:
