The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 8398 Logged by: Kevin Martin Email address: martin.ke...@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 9.3rc1 Operating system: Ubuntu 10.04 Description:
to_json() returns an invalid JSON value when called on an empty hstore value. The first two statements below behave as expected, the third (with an empty hstore) fails: config_test=# SELECT to_json(q) FROM (SELECT '' AS v) AS q; to_json ---------- {"v":""} (1 row) config_test=# SELECT to_json(q) FROM (SELECT ARRAY[]::INT[] AS v) AS q; to_json ---------- {"v":[]} (1 row) config_test=# SELECT to_json(q) FROM (SELECT ''::HSTORE AS v) AS q; to_json --------- {"v":} (1 row) The returned JSON will fail to be parsed by a conformant JSON parser. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
