My first thought is that the number should correspond to the INSERT. It didn't INSERT two rows so it seems wrong. More importantly in a case like with t as (delete from foo returning *) select * from t where x=? applications will almost certainly expect the number to match the actual number of rows returned and may well misbehave if they don't. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
