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

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

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

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

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

In such a case 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

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

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

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

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

In such a case 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 <jgdr@dalibo.com>

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

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

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

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix 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 <jgdr@dalibo.com>

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

In such a case 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

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

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

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

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

In such a case 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 <jgdr@dalibo.com>

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

In such a case 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

more than one 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

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

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

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

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

In such a case 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

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

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

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

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

In such a case 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 <jgdr@dalibo.com>

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

In such a case 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

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

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

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

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

In such a case 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 <jgdr@dalibo.com>

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

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

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

In such a case it's good to throw an error instead of corrupting
remote database with unwanted UPDATE/DELETEs. Subsequent commits will
try to fix 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 <jgdr@dalibo.com>

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

In such a case 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

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

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

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

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

In such a case 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 <jgdr@dalibo.com>

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

In such a case 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

more than one 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

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

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

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

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

In such a case 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

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

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

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

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