        Has anyone here thought about using the spread libraries for WAL
replication amongst mutliple hosts?  With this library I think it'd be
possible to have a multi-master replication system...

http://www.spread.org/

        I'm not familiar enough with the guts of postgres to be able to
impliment this (yet), but thought that it might be something for someone
else to look into.  At the very least, check out the libs, they're very
impressive and I've had good luck with them in the past.  If push comes 
to shove, in a few months I may write a few ruby+spread utils to do 
this, but we'll see...  -sc

Yes, there is some work being done to use Spread as the group 
communication system
for Postgres-R, but we are just getting started with this software.  
Using a group
communication system to establish  total order messages is one of  the 
basic principles for
synchronous multi-master replication with Postgres-R.  Currently 
Ensemble (form Cornell
University) is used, but Spread looks to be more robust and it appears 
to be supported
on most if not all of the PostgreSQL  supported platforms. 

It's very cool to see positive testimony for Spread, and I hope I will 
feel the same way
as I become more familiar with it.

	Howdy.  Darren, I'd reply in person, but there are issues with
your mail account.  ;~)  At anyrate, is there a mailing list that the
Postgres-R development is happening on so that I could drop in and
either listen/contribute? Thanks.  -sc

Sure. The mailing list is

http://www.greatbridge.org/mailman/listinfo/pgreplication-general

It's not only for Postgres-R, but any PostgreSQL
replication ideas, discussions, or projects.
Feel free to listen or contribute.

Darren

BTW: My apologies for the email issues. Should be fixed now.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a

multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.

rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.

more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting

* [PATCH v3 2/2] Error out if one iteration of non-direct DML affects more than one row on the foreign server
@ 2025-07-18 14:52  Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais <[email protected]>

From: Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais @ 2025-07-18 14:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When a foreign table points to a partitioned table or an inheritance
parent on the foreign server, a non-direct DML can affect multiple
rows when only one row is intended to be affected. This happens
because postgres_fdw uses only ctid to identify a row to work on.
Though ctid uniquely identifies a row in a single table, in a
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix this situation.
