Hello.
Already sent this to psql-bugs, but noticed one more issue. Since the
first issue is critical for me as a developer, the second one confuses
my clients (and me a little) ;)
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.x
Operating system: All
====== 1 ISSUE =====
If RETURNS TABLE clause of CREATE FUNCTION contain column of character
type (without length specifier) it should be treated as character(1) according to
manual, but it look like text.
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/datatype-character.html)
Example:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_char_function() RETURNS TABLE(id int, salesourcecode character) AS
$BODY$
VALUES (1, 'one'), (2, 'two'), (3, 'three');
$BODY$ LANGUAGE 'sql'
pqfmod function from libpq library for salesourcecode column returns
0, which is wrong. Who can ever imagine bpchar of length 0? :)
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-EXEC-SELECT-INFO)
====== 2 ISSUE =====
If RETURNS TABLE clause of CREATE FUNCTION contain column of char or
varchar type with length specifier it still acts like text.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_char_function() RETURNS TABLE(id int, salesourcecode varchar(30)) AS
$BODY$
VALUES (1, 'one'), (2, 'two'), (3, 'three');
$BODY$ LANGUAGE 'sql';
pqfmod function from libpq library for salesourcecode column returns
0, which is wrong.
