Thanks for the clarification. So it looks like we expand UPDATE on
partitioned table to UPDATE on each partition (inheritance_planner for
DML) and then execute each of those. If CURRENT OF were to save the
table oid or something we could run the UPDATE only on that partition.
I am possibly shooting in dark, but this puzzles me. And it looks like
we can cause wrong rows to be updated in non-partition inheritance
where the ctids match?
