Tom Lane 20d3fe9009 In INSERT/UPDATE, use the table's real tuple descriptor as target.
Previously, ExecInitModifyTable relied on ExecInitJunkFilter,
and thence ExecCleanTypeFromTL, to build the target descriptor from
the query tlist.  While we just checked (in ExecCheckPlanOutput)
that the tlist produces compatible output, this is not a great
substitute for the relation's actual tuple descriptor that's
available from the relcache.  For one thing, dropped columns will
not be correctly marked attisdropped; it's a bit surprising that
we've gotten away with that this long.  But the real reason for
being concerned with this is that using the table's descriptor means
that the slot will have correct attrmissing data, allowing us to
revert the klugy fix of commit ba9f18abd.  (This commit undoes
that one's changes in trigger.c, but keeps the new test case.)
Thus we can solve the bogus-trigger-tuple problem with fewer cycles
rather than more.

No back-patch, since this doesn't fix any additional bug, and it
seems somewhat more likely to have unforeseen side effects than
ba9f18abd's narrow fix.

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
