Unexpected update behaviour
Greetings.
I've hit a strange issue. This is a simplified setup.
First, run create.sql to get a couple of tables.
Then, run the update query.
Tested on 9.2.6 and 9.3.2.
Now:
- if I remove the UNION ALL part of the inner query, UPDATE works;
- if I move the `raw` subquery into the CTE, UPDATE works (but takes
hours on my full data);
- if I convert this UPDATE into a SELECT, I get the row to be updated.
Could you kindly explain me why the query as it is updates no records?

It's a bug, that's why. See

or for 9.2,
