Cool, thanks for the new patch. The structure looks OK. There were
two things that itched me a bit:
- Instead of reporting the number of tuples where the chunk IDs do not
match across the rewrites, I have rewritten the query to report the
serial IDs, instead.
- Making sure that the CTAS holds some data, matching with the number
of tuples inserted. A count(*) was enough for that.
