Been doing more tracing. The flow of code seems to be going the way one
might
expect.

Here is the strange thing. If I have
CREATE TABLE a (aa text);
CREATE TABLE b (bb text) inherits (a);

If I have a WHERE clause that updates at least one tuple in both a AND
b.

For example...
SELECT oid,* from ONLY a;
1234 | abcd
SELECT oid,* from ONLY b;
5678 | defg | NULL

Now if I have...
UPDATE a SET aa='zzzz' WHERE oid=1234 or oid=5678
it works ok. or...
UPDATE a SET aa='zzzz';
it works ok.
But if I have a WHERE clause that only touches "a" table or only touches
"b"
table, it just updates the wrong stuff, but appears to work. From then
on
it doesn't work at all.

Is there any function to print out a tuple?? I'm not sure how to do this
in the
debugger. Why can't pprint do it?
