Tom Lane 3fb93103a9 Fix bugs in RETURNING in cross-partition UPDATE cases.
If the source and destination partitions don't have identical
rowtypes (for example, one has dropped columns the other lacks),
then the planSlot contents will be different because of that.
If the query has a RETURNING list that tries to return resjunk
columns out of the planSlot, that is columns from tables that
were joined to the target table, we'd get errors or wrong answers.
That's because we used the RETURNING list generated for the
destination partition, which expects a planSlot matching that
partition's subplan.

The most practical fix seems to be to convert the updated destination
tuple back to the source partition's rowtype, and then apply the
RETURNING list generated for the source partition.  This avoids making
fragile assumptions about whether the per-subpartition subplans
generated all the resjunk columns in the same order.

This has been broken since v11 introduced cross-partition UPDATE.
The lack of field complaints shows that non-identical partitions
aren't a common case; therefore, don't stress too hard about
making the conversion efficient.

There's no such bug in HEAD, because commit 86dc90056 got rid of
per-target-relation variance in the contents of the planSlot.
Hence, patch v11-v13 only.

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
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
