The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 15777
Logged by: Danil Mihailov
Email address: svfront@mail.ru
PostgreSQL version: 11.2
Operating system: Debian 9.8
Description:
uname -a
Linux bnode-test 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.144-3.1 (2019-02-19) x86_64
GNU/Linux
Test stand:
CREATE TABLE public.test_dummy
(
a integer[],
b integer[]
);
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW public.test_dummy_view AS
SELECT unnest(test_dummy.a) AS id,
'a'::text AS c
FROM test_dummy
WHERE test_dummy.a IS NOT NULL
UNION
SELECT unnest(test_dummy.b) AS id,
'b'::text AS c
FROM test_dummy
WHERE test_dummy.b IS NOT NULL;
INSERT INTO test_dummy(a, b)
VALUES
(ARRAY[1,2], null),
(null, ARRAY[3,4]);
Test case:
SELECT id, c FROM test_dummy_view; -- works fine
SELECT id, c FROM test_dummy_view WHERE c = 'a'; -- error

функция, возвращающая множество, вызвана в контексте, где ему нет места

FROM test_dummy_view WHERE c = 'a';
Translation:
set-valued function called in context that cannot accept a set
But:
WITH foo AS (
SELECT unnest(a) AS id, 'a' AS c
FROM test_dummy WHERE a IS NOT NULL
UNION
SELECT unnest(b) AS id, 'b' AS c
FROM test_dummy WHERE b IS NOT NULL
)
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE c = 'a'; -- works fine
Also workaround with LATERAL in view works too;
In Postgres 9.6 all queries work as expected.
