Hi,
some issues I found, while playing around with
support-returning-old-new-v2.patch
doc/src/sgml/ref/update.sgml:
[ RETURNING [ WITH ( { OLD | NEW } AS <replaceable
class="parameter">output_alias</replaceable> [, ...] ) ]
* | <replaceable
class="parameter">output_expression</replaceable> [ [ AS ]
<replaceable class="parameter">output_name</replaceable> ] [, ...] ]
</synopsis>
There is no parameter explanation for `*`.
so, I think the synopsis may not cover cases like:
`
update foo set f3 = 443 RETURNING new.*;
`
I saw the explanation at output_alias, though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
insert into foo select 1, 2 RETURNING old.*, new.f2, old.f1();
ERROR: function old.f1() does not exist
LINE 1: ...sert into foo select 1, 2 RETURNING old.*, new.f2, old.f1();
^
HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You
might need to add explicit type casts.
I guess that's ok, slightly different context evaluation. if you say
"old.f1", old refers to the virtual table "old",
but "old.f1()", the "old" , reevaluate to the schema "old".
you need privilege to schema "old", you also need execution privilege
to function "old.f1()" to execute the above query.
so seems no security issue after all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found a fancy expression:
`
CREATE TABLE foo (f1 serial, f2 text, f3 int default 42);
insert into foo select 1, 2 union select 11, 22 RETURNING old.*,
new.f2, (select sum(new.f1) over());
`
is this ok?
also the following works on PG16, not sure it's a bug.
`
insert into foo select 1, 2 union select 11, 22 RETURNING (select count(*));
`
but not these
`
insert into foo select 1, 2 union select 11, 22 RETURNING (select
count(old.*));
insert into foo select 1, 2 union select 11, 22 RETURNING (select sum(f1));
`
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found another interesting case, while trying to add some tests on
for new code in createplan.c.
in postgres_fdw.sql, right after line `MERGE ought to fail cleanly`
--this will work
insert into itrtest select 1, 'foo' returning new.*,old.*;
--these two will fail
insert into remp1 select 1, 'foo' returning new.*;
insert into remp1 select 1, 'foo' returning old.*;
itrtest is the partitioned non-foreign table.
remp1 is the partition of itrtest, foreign table.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did find a segment fault bug.
insert into foo select 1, 2 RETURNING (select sum(old.f1) over());
This information is set in a subplan node.
/* update the ExprState's flags if Var refers to OLD/NEW */
if (variable->varreturningtype == VAR_RETURNING_OLD)
state->flags |= EEO_FLAG_HAS_OLD;
else if (variable->varreturningtype == VAR_RETURNING_NEW)
state->flags |= EEO_FLAG_HAS_NEW;
but in ExecInsert:
`
else if (resultRelInfo->ri_projectReturning->pi_state.flags & EEO_FLAG_HAS_OLD)
{
oldSlot = ExecGetReturningSlot(estate, resultRelInfo);
ExecStoreAllNullTuple(oldSlot);
oldSlot->tts_tableOid = RelationGetRelid(resultRelInfo->ri_RelationDesc);
}
`
it didn't use subplan node state->flags information. so the ExecInsert
above code, never called, and should be executed.
however
`
insert into foo select 1, 2 RETURNING (select sum(new.f1)over());`
works
Similarly this
`
delete from foo RETURNING (select sum(new.f1) over());
`
also causes segmentation fault.

These changes is slot_getsysattr is somehow independ of this feature?
