This SQL-standard feature allows a sub-SELECT yielding multiple columns (but only one row) to be used to compute the new values of several columns to be updated. While the same results can be had with an independent sub-SELECT per column, such a workaround can require a great deal of duplicated computation. The standard actually says that the source for a multi-column assignment could be any row-valued expression. The implementation used here is tightly tied to our existing sub-SELECT support and can't handle other cases; the Bison grammar would have some issues with them too. However, I don't feel too bad about this since other cases can be converted into sub-SELECTs. For instance, "SET (a,b,c) = row_valued_function(x)" could be written "SET (a,b,c) = (SELECT * FROM row_valued_function(x))". |
