Here is part of comments for expand_single_inheritance_child: * expand_single_inheritance_child * Expand a single inheritance child, if needed. * * If this is a temp table of another backend, we'll return without doing * anything at all. Otherwise, build a RangeTblEntry and an AppendRelInfo, if * appropriate, plus maybe a PlanRowMark.
The sentence "If this is a temp table of another backend, we'll return without doing anything at all" is not correct, because that function doesn't even check whether the given child is such a temp table. (The caller does, so that function assumes that the given child is not such a temp table.) So I think we should remove that sentence entirely. Also, I think we should remove "if needed" from the headline: Expand a single inheritance child, if needed. IMO I don't think that "Expand a single inheritance child" says much, so I'd like to propose changing that part simply to something like this: * expand_single_inheritance_child * Build a RangeTblEntry and an AppendRelInfo, if appropriate, plus * maybe a PlanRowMark. Attached is a patch for that. Best regards, Etsuro Fujita
