In any case, it seems to me that the condition expression should be scanned to see which columns are used in Vars (pull_varattnos?), and verify if those columns are in the REPLICA IDENTITY; and if they are not, raise an error. Most of the time the REPLICA IDENTITY is going to be the primary key; but if the user wants to use other columns in the expression, we can HINT that they can set REPLICA IDENTITY FULL. -- Álvaro Herrera Valdivia, Chile — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ <Schwern> It does it in a really, really complicated way <crab> why does it need to be complicated? <Schwern> Because it's MakeMaker.
