+    Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+    in a query. Row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+    clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+    and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+    definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+    logical expression, which means it must
+    return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+    or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+    and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+    not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+    Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+    previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in
+    the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+    when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+    in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+    the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+    previous row.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+    used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+    certain conditions.  For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+    defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+    rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+    "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+    more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+    in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+    aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+    into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. In the second or
+    subsequent rows all window functions and aggregates are NULL. For rows
+    that do not match the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are
+    shown AS NULL too, except count which shows 0. This is because the
+    unmatched rows are in an empty frame. Example of
+    a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+    and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w
+FROM stock,
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

* [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.

* [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.

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

rows 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

rows 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

* [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
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be 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
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

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

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

In such a case 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
partitioned table or in an inheritance hierarchy, there can be be
multiple rows, in different partitions, with the same ctid. So a DML
statement sent to the foreign server by postgres_fdw ends up affecting
more than one rows, only one of which is intended to be affected.

In such a case 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.

* [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.
