Wedon't have scan nodes that read more than one table, so I'm<br /> not following your point.<br /><br />

thereis only Update Remote SQL. whereas for child3 you have specified the Seq Scan as well. I was wondering if the

bylisting the scans in the same order as updates or by associating each scan with corresponding update.<br clear="all"
