That makes the following valid: INSERT INTO distributors (did, dname) VALUES (5, 'Gizmo transglobal') ON CONFLICT (did) DO UPDATE SET dname = NEW.dname RETURNING OLD.dname; So you're projecting "OLD.dname" from RETURNING, here -- so "OLD" refers to the row added back to the relation on update (or perhaps the row simply inserted). That's pretty bad. I really don't want to add a kludge to make the target relation have an alias in one context but not in the other. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
