Normally whole-row Vars are printed as "tabname.*". However, that does not work at top level of a targetlist, because per SQL standard the parser will think that the "*" should result in column-by-column expansion; which is not at all what a whole-row Var implies. We used to just print the table name in such cases, which works most of the time; but it fails if the table name matches a column name available anywhere in the FROM clause. This could lead for instance to a view being interpreted differently after dump and reload. Adding parentheses doesn't fix it, but there is a reasonably simple kluge we can use instead: attach a no-op cast, so that the "*" isn't syntactically at top level anymore. This makes the printing of such whole-row Vars a lot more consistent with other Vars, and may indeed fix more cases than just the reported one; I'm suspicious that cases involving schema qualification probably didn't work properly before, either. Per bug report and fix proposal from Abbas Butt, though this patch is quite different in detail from his. Back-patch to all supported versions. |

This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
