Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
PostgreSQL version: 8.2.0, older
Operating system: Ubuntu 6.10 2.6.17-10-386, libc6 2.4-1ubuntu12
Description: Segfault on prepared statement after changing column
type
Details:
The following sequence of statements cause a segfault
on 8.2.0:
create table test (i integer);
create index test_idx on test(i);
prepare c as insert into test values (1);
alter table test alter i type bigint;
execute c;
Also crashes 8.1.4 and 8.0.6, although a bit harder to
achieve on the latter. Seems to work fine if the column
being changed is not indexed.
