What Brad is complaining about is non-strict expressions in the outputs of append-relation members. An inheritance tree also forms an append-relation, but AFAIK there is no way to have anything but simple Vars in its outputs so the case wouldn't arise. Do you have a specific problem example in mind? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
