In the case where inheritance_planner() finds that every table has been excluded by constraints, it thought it could get away with making a plan consisting of just a dummy Result node. While certainly there's no updating or deleting to be done, this had two user-visible problems: the plan did not report the correct set of output columns when a RETURNING clause was present, and if there were any statement-level triggers that should be fired, it didn't fire them. Hence, rather than only generating the dummy Result, we need to stick a valid ModifyTable node on top, which requires a tad more effort here. It's been broken this way for as long as inheritance_planner() has known about deleting excluded subplans at all (cf commit 635d42e9c), so back-patch to all supported branches. Amit Langote and Tom Lane, per a report from Petr Fedorov. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/5da6f0f0-1364-1876-6978-907678f89a3e@phystech.edu
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
