The system is relying on the not-unreasonable assumption that if it extracts a column of type X from someplace, what it has is a valid value of type X. Depending on what we decide about the whole composite-null mess, maybe we will be forced to abandon that assumption ... but I'm sure not going to do so until my back is to the wall. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
