In the format you specified
Multi-Table Update
Relation Name: pt1 -- this is the *nominal* target
Target Relations:
[
Relation Name: pt1 -- first actual target
Schema: public
Alias: pt1
]
[
Relation Name: ft1
Schema: public
Alias: ft1
Remote SQL: UPDATE ref1 ...
]
Plans:
Plan: (seq scan on pt1 here)
Plan: (foreign scan on ft1 here)
For relation ft1, there is an Update node as well as a scan node. Update
node has Update Remote SQL and Scan will have corresponding SELECT Remote
SQL.
But in the text output you gave
Update on public.pt1 (cost=0.00..321.05 rows=3541 width=46)
Update on public.pt1
Foreign Update on public.ft1
Remote SQL: UPDATE public.ref1 SET c1 = $2 WHERE ctid = $1
Foreign Update on public.ft2
Remote SQL: UPDATE public.ref2 SET c1 = $2 WHERE ctid = $1
Update on public.child3
-> Seq Scan on public.pt1 (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=46)
Output: (pt1.c1 + 1), pt1.c2, pt1.c3, pt1.ctid
... etc ...
For ft1 there is only Update Remote SQL. whereas for child3 you have
specified the Seq Scan as well. I was wondering if the foreign scan on ft1
is part of "...etc..."?. Further we have to make it clear which scan goes
with which Update, either by listing the scans in the same order as updates
or by associating each scan with corresponding update.
