Great, thanks.

In the updated patch:

+#define PartitionTupRoutingGetToParentMap(p, i) \
+#define PartitionTupRoutingGetToChildMap(p, i) \

If the "Get" could be replaced by "Child" and "Parent", respectively,
they'd sound more meaningful, imho.

Oops, I guess you mean my omission of checking if
mtstate->mt_oc_transition_capture is non-NULL in ExecInitRoutingInfo.

Thanks for fixing it and adding the test case.

Yes, thought I had removed the field in my patch, but looks like I had
just removed the comment about it.

I've looked at v6 and spotted some minor typos.

+     * ResultRelInfo for, before we go making one, we check for a
pre-made one

s/making/make/g

+    /* If nobody else set the per-subplan array of maps, do so ouselves. */

I guess I'm the one to blame here for misspelling "ourselves".


Since the above two are minor issues, fixed them myself in the attached
updated version; didn't touch the macro though.

Do you agree to setting this patch to "Ready for Committer" in the
September CF?

Thanks,
