The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 17376
Logged by: akg
Email address: adrien.gilmore+pg@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 13.5
Operating system: Linux
Description:
Hello,
SQL demonstrating the issue on 13.5 is below.
--
BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE t1 (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (default);
CREATE FUNCTION myfunc() RETURNS TEXT LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$
BEGIN
SELECT r FROM t1;
RETURN random()::text;
END $$;
ALTER TABLE t1 ADD COLUMN r TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE DEFAULT myfunc();
--
Results in the error:
ERROR: could not read block 0 in file "base/84505/84705": read only 0 of
8192 bytes
The error message content returned is what I suspect of being a bug, not so
much that this SQL didn't work.
