Before 9.4, such an aggregate couldn't be declared, because its final function would have to have polymorphic result type but no polymorphic argument, which CREATE FUNCTION would quite properly reject. The ordered-set-aggregate patch found a workaround: allow the final function to be declared as accepting additional dummy arguments that have types matching the aggregate's regular input arguments. However, we failed to notice that this problem applies just as much to regular aggregates, despite the fact that we had a built-in regular aggregate array_agg() that was known to be undeclarable in SQL because its final function had an illegal signature. So what we should have done, and what this patch does, is to decouple the extra-dummy-arguments behavior from ordered-set aggregates and make it generally available for all aggregate declarations. We have to put this into 9.4 rather than waiting till later because it slightly alters the rules for declaring ordered-set aggregates. The patch turned out a bit bigger than I'd hoped because it proved necessary to record the extra-arguments option in a new pg_aggregate column. I'd thought we could just look at the final function's pronargs at runtime, but that didn't work well for variadic final functions. It's probably just as well though, because it simplifies life for pg_dump to record the option explicitly. While at it, fix array_agg() to have a valid final-function signature, and add an opr_sanity test to notice future deviations from polymorphic consistency. I also marked the percentile_cont() aggregates as not needing extra arguments, since they don't. |
