Here is an example for $subject using postgres_fdw:
postgres=# create foreign table foreign_tbl (a int, b int) server
loopback options (table_name 'base_tbl');
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE
postgres=# create view rw_view as select * from foreign_tbl where a < b
with check option;
CREATE VIEW
postgres=# insert into rw_view values (0, 10);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# explain verbose update rw_view set a = 20 where b = 10;
QUERY PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update on public.foreign_tbl (cost=100.00..146.21 rows=4 width=14)
-> Foreign Update on public.foreign_tbl (cost=100.00..146.21
rows=4 width=14)
Remote SQL: UPDATE public.base_tbl SET a = 20 WHERE ((a < b))
AND ((b = 10))
(3 rows)
postgres=# update rw_view set a = 20 where b = 10;
UPDATE 1
This is wrong! This should fail. The reason for that is; direct modify
is overlooking checking WITH CHECK OPTION constraints from parent views.
I think we could do direct modify, even if there are any WITH CHECK
OPTIONs, in some way or other, but I think that is a feature. So, I'd
like to propose to fix this by just giving up direct modify if there are
any WITH CHECK OPTIONs. Attached is a patch for that. I'll add it to
the next commitfest.
Best regards,
Etsuro Fujita
