ExecInitModifyTable() evaluated ForPortionOfExpr.targetRange unconditionally at executor start-up, with no EXEC_FLAG_EXPLAIN_ONLY guard. This caused three problems: - EXPLAIN (GENERIC_PLAN) failed with "no value found for parameter 1". - Plain EXPLAIN with FOR PORTION OF (null) raised "FOR PORTION OF target must not be null". - Plain EXPLAIN ran user functions appearing in the target a second time, beyond the one evaluation the planner already does for selectivity estimation. Now we skip the evaluation and the accompanying null check in explain-only mode. Reported-by: Noah Misch <noah@leadboat.com> Author: Paul A.
