Hi PostgreSQL Community,
I have been working on partitioned tables recently, and I have noticed
something that doesn't seem correct with the EXPLAIN output of an
update/delete query with a returning list.
For example, consider two partitioned tables, "t1" and "t2," with
partitions "t11," "t12," and "t21," "t22," respectively. The table
definitions are as follows:
```sql
postgres=# \d+ t1
Partitioned table "public.t1"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage | Compression
| Stats target | Description
--------+---------+-----------+----------+---------+---------+-------------+--------------+-------------
a | integer | | | | plain |
| |
b | integer | | | | plain |
| |
c | integer | | | | plain |
| |
Partition key: RANGE (a)
Partitions: t11 FOR VALUES FROM (0) TO (1000),
t12 FOR VALUES FROM (1000) TO (10000)
postgres=# \d+ t2
Partitioned table "public.t2"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage | Compression
| Stats target | Description
--------+---------+-----------+----------+---------+---------+-------------+--------------+-------------
a | integer | | | | plain |
| |
b | integer | | | | plain |
| |
c | integer | | | | plain |
| |
Partition key: RANGE (a)
Partitions: t21 FOR VALUES FROM (0) TO (1000),
t22 FOR VALUES FROM (1000) TO (10000)
```
The EXPLAIN output for an update query with a returning list doesn't seem
correct to me. Here are the examples (the part that doesn't seem right is
highlighted in bold):
*Query1:*
```
postgres=# explain verbose update t1 set b = 10 from t2 where t1.a = t2.a
returning t1.c;
QUERY PLAN

*Output: t1_1.c -----> something not right??*

```
*Query2:*
*```*postgres=# explain verbose update t1 set b = 10 from t2 where t1.a =
t2.a returning t2.c;

rows=2040 width=8)
Output: t2_2.c, t2_2.a
(23 rows)
```
After further investigation into the code, I noticed following:
1. In the 'grouping_planner()' function, while generating paths for the
final relation (
https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/master/src/backend/optimizer/plan/planner.c#L1857)
we only take care of adjusting the append_rel_attributes in returningList
for resultRelation. Shouldn't we do that for other relations as well in
query? Example for *Query2* above, *adjust_appendrel_attrs_multilevel* is a
no-op.
2. After plan creation (
https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/master/src/backend/optimizer/plan/createplan.c#L351)
shouldn't we perform tlist labeling for the `returningList` as well? I
suspect this is resulting in incorrect output in *Query1*.
I suspect that similar issues might also be present for `withCheckOptions`,
`mergeActionList`, and `mergeJoinCondition`.
I would appreciate it if the community could provide insights or
clarifications regarding this observation.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
