Attached 10th version of the jsonpath patches.
1. Fixed error handling in arithmetic operators.
Now run-time errors in arithmetic operators are catched (added
PG_TRY/PG_CATCH around operator's functions calls) and converted into
Unknown values in predicates as it is required by the standard:
I think we really need to rename PG_TRY and PG_CATCH or rethink this
whole interface so that people stop thinking they can use it to
prevent errors from being thrown.
I understand that it is unsafe to call arbitrary function inside PG_TRY without
rethrowing of caught errors in PG_CATCH, but in jsonpath only the following
numeric and datetime functions with known behavior are called inside PG_TRY
and only errors of category ERRCODE_DATA_EXCEPTION are caught:
numeric_add()
numeric_mul()
numeric_div()
numeric_mod()
numeric_float8()
float8in()
float8_numeric()
to_datetime()
SQL/JSON standard requires us to handle errors and then perform the specified
ON ERROR behavior. In the next SQL/JSON patch I had to use subtransactions for
catching errors in JSON_VALUE, JSON_QUERY and JSON_EXISTS where an arbitrary
user-defined typecast function can be called.
