This looks good to me. Yeah, I agree that reversing our decision to mark row-id wholerow Vars in as RECORD rather than a specific reltype will have to wait until we hear more complaints than just this one, which seems fixable with a patch like this. > It resolves > the offered test case, but I haven't beat on it beyond that. Given that we don't (no longer) support pushing down the join of child target relations with other relations, I don't think we have other cases that are affected at this point. I have a feeling that your patch will have fixed things enough that the same problem will not occur when we have join pushdown under UPDATE occurring in more cases. -- Amit Langote EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
