After some reflection, I realized that nobody would think that that
approach is very robust. In the attached, I’ve modified
ExecInitModifyTable() to allocate ResultRelInfos only for unpruned
relations, instead of allocating for all in
ModifyTable.resultRelations and setting pruned ones to 0. This
approach feels more robust.
