Hi,

I have come across a problem (bug?) with PL/pgSQL GET DIAGNOSTICS.

In a PL/pgSQL function I want to insert into a table and get the OID back.
That usually works with
GET DIAGNOSTICS last_oid = RESULT_OID;
right after the insert statement.

But if the table that I insert to has a rule (or perhaps a trigger?) that
updates another table, the RESULT_OID after the insert will be 0 (zero).

Can this be fixed (I have no such problem with JDBC and getLastOID())?

Testcase:

CREATE TABLE pltest (
  id BIGINT default cs_nextval('invoice_invoice_id') NOT NULL,
  t TEXT,
  primary key (id)
);

CREATE TABLE plcounter (
  counter INTEGER NOT NULL
);

CREATE FUNCTION pltestfunc(integer) RETURNS BOOLEAN AS'
DECLARE
  lastOID OID;
BEGIN
  FOR i IN 1..$1 LOOP
    INSERT INTO pltest (t) VALUES (\'test\');
    GET DIAGNOSTICS lastOID = RESULT_OID;
    RAISE NOTICE \'RESULT_OID: %\', lastOID;
    IF lastOID <= 0 THEN
      RAISE EXCEPTION \'RESULT_OID is zero\';
    END IF;
  END LOOP;
  RETURN true;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

-- comment out the rule and the test will work
CREATE RULE pltest_insert AS
  ON INSERT TO pltest DO
  UPDATE plcounter SET counter=counter+1;

INSERT INTO plcounter VALUES (0);
SELECT pltestfunc(10);
SELECT * FROM pltest;

DROP FUNCTION pltestfunc(integer);
DROP TABLE pltest;


Regards,
Michael
