Hi there, I've no idea if this is the proper way to append information about an existing bug report, please advise if not.
The bug #6020 seems to have bit me, too, this kind of a query fails under PostgreSQL 9.0.4: SELECT * FROM acl_get_list('news', 258, 0); ERROR: wrong record type supplied in RETURN NEXT DETAIL: Returned type bpchar does not match expected type character(4) in column 3. CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "acl_get_list" line 9 at RETURN NEXT Where the code is: CREATE TYPE acl_list AS ( ugid integer, isuser boolean, acl_id CHAR(4) [...] ); CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION acl_get_list(CHAR(4), INTEGER, INTEGER) RETURNS SETOF acl_list AS ' DECLARE p_acl_id ALIAS FOR $1; p_acl_object_id ALIAS FOR $2; p_lev ALIAS FOR $3; rec RECORD; rec1 RECORD; BEGIN [...] FOR rec IN SELECT * FROM acl_inherits WHERE acl_id = p_acl_id AND object_id = p_acl_object_id LOOP FOR rec1 IN SELECT * FROM acl_get_list(rec.parent_acl_id, rec.parent_object_id, p_lev + 1) LOOP RETURN NEXT rec1; END LOOP; END LOOP; [...] This worked just fine in 8.1, 8.3, 8.4, and doesn't seem wrong. (Coupled with http://bugs.debian.org/630569, this upgrade cycle has not been happy at all for me... :() -- 2.
